During the 2015 federal election, the SUMA (SUMA) is once again calling for a permanent, long-term, sustainable, and predictable infrastructure program that increases the overall amount of funding available for municipal infrastructure projects.
“Saskatchewan municipalities need a program that helps us tackle the challenge of providing the services and infrastructure needed to accommodate growth, attract business and new residents, and deal with a significant infrastructure deficit from years of underfunding,” said SUMA President Debra Button. “Saskatchewan’s predictable allocation of the New Building Canada Fund works out to $43.67 million annually over 10 years that must be shared between the province and 800 municipalities. That figure is woefully inadequate and doesn’t even begin to meet the urgent demand for infrastructure in our cities, towns, and villages.”
