A thriving economy needs strategic investments in transportation infrastructure to keep people and goods moving efficiently. Important projects such as this one increase job opportunities and provide a better quality of life for the middle class.

Having safe, creative and welcoming gathering spaces where people can come together for educational, recreational and social events is critical for the health and well-being of Canadians. Community centres allow families and friends to support each other, share experiences and enjoy the quality of life that middle-class Canadians want and expect.

From visiting friends and relatives to getting goods to market, we rely on our roads, bridges and highways to support a vibrant economy and great quality of life. Investing in modern transportation infrastructure will help create jobs and grow the middle class now, while building the foundation for a strong economic future.

Investing in public transit creates connected, sustainable communities and provides a better quality of life for the middle class.

Premier Christy Clark and Governor Jay Inslee signed a memorandum of understanding affirming their shared interest in creating regional economic opportunities for innovation in the technology sector.
