Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Portfolio

Infrastructure Canada is part of the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities (TIC) Portfolio. The Portfolio is made up of government organizations that share similar issues and concerns. Together, they work to:

  • make our economy stronger;
  • build stronger and safer communities;
  • protect the environment; and
  • keep our transportation system safe and secure.

By working together and moving forward with a shared vision, these organizations can better serve Canadians.

Infrastructure Canada works within the Portfolio to address Canada's public infrastructure needs. Investments in rural and urban communities have made a difference by providing Canadians with cleaner drinking water, safer roads and improved recreational facilities.

The TIC Portfolio reports to Parliament through the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. In addition to Infrastructure Canada and Transport Canada, the Portfolio includes:
