There is at least $30 billion in an infrastructure gap. This won't be closed with a program. It must be closed with sufficient fiscal powers to maintain the infrastructure. It must be closed by providing the necessary capacity support to raise infrastructure standards. It must be closed by better financing, construction, operations and maintenance.
To close these gaps, we propose amendments, especially by setting up the first nations infrastructure institute, with better access to capital and lower insurance premiums for interested first nations.
