Canada has no shortage of ambition when it comes to knowing what needs to get done. The challenge is execution. Government needs better capabilities to deliver complex, multi-year projects on time, on budget, and able to achieve intended outcomes.

The Major Projects and Infrastructure workstream will focus on strengthening the federal government’s ability to turn national priorities into results. Its starting point is that Canada’s major projects challenge requires improving how government prioritizes, coordinates, and delivers. Too often, major projects are slowed by fragmented decision-making, unclear accountability, weak prioritization, and limited internal delivery and commercial expertise. These challenges cut across departments, sectors, and orders of government. 

This workstream will examine government machinery and processes that shape major project delivery, including the roles of central agencies, line departments, and external partners. This is not about assessing which major projects should proceed. Instead, it will identify practical, high-impact reforms that can be advanced to get things done.
