Liberal Leader Mark Carney is committing $5 billion to develop major infrastructure, including railways, highways, and airports, meant to strengthen Canada’s trade sector.
Carney made the announcement on March 28, one day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on the auto industry, with more tariffs yet to come, on top of the other ones he had announced previously.
The Liberals said they will put the funds in a Trade Diversification Corridor Fund, which will be used to develop infrastructure to help diversify trade.
The party said the fund will also create jobs and economic growth, and will cover projects at ports, railroads, inland terminals, airports, and highways….
