Initiative (APGCI), the Build-
ing Canada Fund ($8.8 bil-
lion) and, more recently, the
New Building Canada Fund
($14-billion). These funding
programs support projects of
national, regional and local
significance that promote eco-
nomic growth, job creation
and productivity. The APGCI is
a Federal program to improve
the flow of goods and servic-
es between Asia and Canada
through strategic investment
in port, railway, and highway
projects. Essentially, these are
federal funds that leverage
money from other levels of
government and stakeholders
to develop infrastructure proj-
ects.
An important APGCI initia-
tive for CJI is providingprogram
management services for the
development of the Roberts
Bank Rail Corridor Program.
