Designate Trans‑Canada Highway 11
Petitioners ask the Government to designate Trans‑Canada Highway 11 as a Project of National Interest under the Building Canada Act to fund and prioritize upgrades ensuring traveler safety and reliable interprovincial goods movement.
Why we would sign this petition
- Prioritizes federal funding and planning for Highway 11 upgrades, accelerating safety improvements.
- Facilitates targeted upgrades to improve traveler safety along a major interprovincial corridor.
- Supports economic reliability by helping maintain uninterrupted movement of goods between provinces.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- Adds federal spending and administrative obligations that may compete with other infrastructure priorities.
- Designation alone may not produce immediate repairs; planning and approvals could delay tangible improvements.
- Provincial or local initiatives might address specific safety issues more efficiently than a broad national designation.
