Designate Trans-Canada Highway 11
Petitioners ask the Government of Canada to designate Trans‑Canada Highway 11 as a Project of National Interest under the Building Canada Act to fund upgrades ensuring traveller safety and reliable interprovincial goods movement.
Why we would sign this petition
- Secures federal designation that can unlock federal planning and funding under the Building Canada Act to support major upgrades.
- Targets investments that could reduce collisions and improve safety for all travellers on this corridor.
- Improves reliability of interprovincial goods movement, supporting economic stability and supply chains.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- Designation could be costly and divert limited federal funds from other national or local priorities.
- It may duplicate or shift responsibilities currently held by provinces, raising jurisdictional and implementation issues.
- Smaller, targeted safety or capacity projects might deliver faster or more cost‑effective improvements than a broad national designation.
