Key political leaders spoke on the road ahead
by ORBA/OAPC



Minister of Transportation
Caroline Mulroney

“Together with ORBA, our government is building long-overdue transportation infrastructure that the people of Ontario can rely on for today and generations to come.”
Minister of Education
Stephen Lecce
“The number one way by which we can create value for your industry is making sure that the next generation of graduates in the province are talented, capable and ambitious young people who are ready to embrace opportunities in the skilled trades.”
Minister of Finance
Peter Bethlenfalvy
“I still think you’ve got to look down the road, pun intended, to building infrastructure because these are productive assets. These are real assets – they will help move people; they’ll help move goods to market.”
Minister of Infrastructure
Kinga Surma
“This past November, the government and Infrastructure Ontario shared our market update which includes 39 projects in pre-procurement and active procurement totalling more than $35 billion in estimated design and construction costs.”
Interim Ontario Liberal Leader MPP John

Fraser
“Climate change is also a big problem. It’s immediate too. It forces us to change the way we build everything. Because we’re not just building for today, we’re building for tomorrow.”
Toronto City Councillor Brad

Bradford
“There are no silver bullets to our transportation challenges. I remind people all the time that mobility is access to opportunity. But it’s not a single bullet; that’s not how we’re going to fix it. It’s thousands of points of innovation.”
