Today, Minister of Infrastructure & Communities Catherine McKenna announced a $2.75 billion fund for electric bus infrastructure over the next five years. Funding will be provided through Infrastructure Canada to support the purchase of zero-emission public transit and school buses and can be accessed as early as 2021.

Today’s announcement is in addition to the $1.5 billion in low-cost financing made available for electric buses and charging infrastructure via the Canada Infrastructure Bank announced in October 2020.

The $2.7-billion fund for electric bus infrastructure will come from a plan to spend $5.9-billion over five years on transit-related projects. That fund was announced in February, along with an announcement to create a dedicated public-transit transfer to municipalities worth $3-billion a year, starting in 2026.

Canada’s Nuclear Renaissance, Continued

Canada unveiled its first-ever sectorwide Nuclear Energy Strategy, setting concrete build-out targets: up to 10 new domestic reactors by 2040, four new export markets by 2040, across a four-pillar plan covering domestic builds, exports, fuel/waste management, and fission/fusion innovation. The strategy stays technology-agnostic between CANDU, AP1000, and Gen IV designs, leans on existing financing tools rather than new funding (with a dedicated financing policy due next April), and frames nuclear as central to doubling Canada's grid capacity and capturing global export demand as countries move away from Russian supply chains.

Tout le nucléaire ne se vaut pas

Les centrales nucléaires traditionnelles à grande échelle ont démontré depuis longtemps qu'il est possible de produire de l'électricité fiable à grande échelle sans émissions directes de gaz à effet de serre. Elles fournissent une électricité stable et continue qui soutient les économies modernes tout en aidant les juridictions à atteindre leurs objectifs climatiques.
