Infrastructure is the physical structures and systems that support the production of goods and services and their delivery to and consumption by governments, businesses and citizens. The industry undertaking that infrastructure investment is also presented. Accumulating investment flows over time produces an estimate of the stock of infrastructure assets. The perpetual inventory method is used as it estimates a value of the net stock of fixed assets in existence and in the hands of producers which is generally based on estimating how many of the fixed assets installed, as a result of investment undertaken in previous years, have survived to the current period. The depreciation of that stock is calculated using the geometric method with asset specific depreciation profiles.

Expansion of the Infrastructure Economic Accounts focusing on the environmental aspect to aid in understanding the relationship between investment in infrastructure and the environment. Main indicators include greenhouse gas emissions as a result of production of infrastructure assets, greenhouse gas emissions per value-added, and clean input proportion.

This publication contains a series of data tables that provide estimates on the investment, stock, useful life, economic contribution and depreciation of infrastructure for Canada and each province and territory. The infrastructure economic accounts represents a set of statistical statements that record the economic, social and environmental impacts related to the production and use of infrastructure in Canada and each province and territory. The infrastructure economic accounts are organized using a statistical framework that outlines the concepts, classification systems and methods required to construct the accounts. This statistical framework is consistent with the Canadian system of national accounts, Canadian government finance statistics and Canada’s balance of payments. This consistency permits users to analyze the infrastructure related statistical statements in the context of economy wide measures such as investment, gross domestic product (GDP), national income and wealth.

The average age of investment is the weighted age of all investments remaining in the gross stock at year end. The remaining useful life, which is the difference between the average age of the investment spending and their expected service life, is then divided by the expected service life, creating a ratio that indicates the percentage of the asset class that remains.

The Canada Infrastructure Industry Report is segmented By Infrastructure Segment (Social Infrastructure, Transportation Infrastructure, Extraction Infrastructure, and Manufacturing Infrastructure). The report offers the market sizes and forecasts for the Infrastructure Sector in Canada market in value (USD) for all the above segments.

The United States had a much higher infrastructure investment than Canada in 2020. While spending on infrastructure in the U.S. reached *** billion U.S. dollars that year, that figure amounted to ** billion U.S. dollars for Canada. Those values in Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina, the Latin American countries with the highest infrastructure investment levels, were also lower than in the United States.

This dataset contains a list of infrastructure projects across Canada that have been approved by Infrastructure Canada. The project information listed is based on current information.

The largest infrastructure project under development in Canada as of 2025 was the Site C Clean Energy Project, a hydroelectric dam in British Columbia. Additionally, two GO Expansion projects made it to the ranking. Go Expansion is a series of rail infrastructure projects in Ontario. Finally, the Bruce Power Refurbishment, which aims to refurbish several of the reactors of a nuclear plant in Ontario, was estimated to be valued at ** billion Canadian dollars.

[COVERAGE] RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT Investment expenditure on rail infrastructure: capital expenditure on new rail infrastructure or extension of existing railways, including reconstruction, renewal (major substitution work on the existing infrastructure which does not change its overall performance) and upgrades (major modification work improving the original performance or capacity of the infrastructure). Infrastructure includes land, permanent way constructions, buildings, bridges and tunnels, as well as immovable fixtures, fitting and installation connected with them (signalisation, telecommunications, catenaries, electricity sub-stations, etc.) as opposed to rolling stock.

The purpose of this survey is to collect statistical information on the inventory, condition, performance and asset management strategies of core public infrastructure assets owned or leased by various levels of Canadian government. The following 9 core public infrastructure assets are assessed: Bridge and tunnel assets Culture, recreation and sports facilities Potable water assets Public transit assets Road assets Public social and affordable housing assets Solid waste assets Storm water assets Wastewater assets Information from this survey will be used by analysts and policy-makers to better understand the current condition of Canada's core public infrastructure. This will enable all levels of government to develop policies to support Canada's core public infrastructure and help monitor and report progress on desired outcomes.

TOTAL INLAND INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT Since 1999, data do not include inland waterways infrastructure expenses since they are not reported (in 1998 inland waterways infrastructure expenses represent 0.16% of the total inland infrastructure expenses).

The economic contribution as a result of the production of infrastructure assets due to investment is presented for valued added (GDP), compensation of employees and number of jobs. Value-added is a key measure of economic performance. It represents the output of an industry minus the value of intermediate inputs that were used up in the production of the goods and services. Within the Infrastructure Economic Accounts, this is the value added due to an industry's production of infrastructure assets. The number of jobs represents the number of jobs held by the self-employed, employees and unpaid family workers. The compensation of employees represents the wages and salaries, and supplementary labour income due to labour inputs for the production of infrastructure assets.
