Closing Canada’s infrastructure gap: a new hope

Canada’s infrastructure is in bad shape, says Rodrigue Gilbert, the President of the Canadian Construction Association, but for the first time in years, he’s hopeful. Why? For one thing, the current federal government is taking important first steps to do something about it. In this podcast episode, ACEC President and CEO John Gamble and the CCA President get into the nitty-gritty of how we can close the infrastructure gap and deliver projects more efficiently and effectively. They discuss building capacity, managing risk (not just transferring it), and getting everyone aligned.
