** CBTU Statement on Federal Funding for Transit
------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, the Government of Canada ([link removed]) announced new public transit investments that will flow directly to municipalities. This is a direct result of the advocacy work of Canada’s Building Trades Unions, our 14 affiliates, provincial and local councils who have been actively engaging the federal government to declutter the infrastructure approval process. By flowing money directly to municipalities across Canada, the money flows quicker, gets shovels in the ground and gets our members to work, faster. Investments like this create opportunities for skilled trades workers and apprentices to continue to build much needed infrastructure. These jobs pay a family-supporting wage and allow skilled trades workers to invest back into their own communities. We stand ready to provide the best trained, most highly-skilled workforce to get the job done. Canada’s Building Trades Unions
will continue to advocate directly with the federal government to ensure further investments in infrastructure are included in the government's upcoming budget.

** SMCC déclaration sur le financement fédéral du transport en commun
------------------------------------------------------------
Hier, le gouvernement du Canada a annoncé ([link removed]) de nouveaux investissements dans le transport en commun qui iront directement aux municipalités. Il s’agit d’un résultat direct du travail de revendication des syndicats des métiers de la construction du Canada, de nos 14 affiliés, des conseils provinciaux et locaux qui ont activement engagé le gouvernement fédéral à désencombrer le processus d’approbation des infrastructures. En acheminant de l'argent directement aux municipalités partout au Canada, l'argent circule plus rapidement, met des pelles dans le sol et permet à nos membres de travailler plus rapidement. Des investissements comme celui-ci créent des occasions pour les travailleurs des métiers spécialisés et les apprentis de continuer à construire une infrastructure dont ils ont grand besoin. Ces emplois paient un salaire pour subvenir aux besoins de la famille et perm
ettent aux travailleurs des métiers spécialisés de réinvestir dans leurs propres collectivités. Nous sommes prêts à fournir la main-d'œuvre la mieux formée et la plus hautement qualifiée pour faire le travail. Les syndicats des métiers de la construction du Canada continueront de plaider directement auprès du gouvernement fédéral pour que d’autres investissements dans l’infrastructure soient inclus dans le prochain budget du gouvernement.

- Sean Strickland
