In 2018-19, Infrastructure Canada's total spending was over $5.6 billion. Departmental spending continued to rise, as it did in the previous two years. Expenditures under voted spending, in particular, are more than twice the amount spent two years ago, and one-and-a-half times what was spent last year.

Voted spending includes payments to infrastructure projects as well as the costs associated with internal services and human resources. The increase in voted spending is largely due to more infrastructure projects being completed, or reaching construction milestones that triggered payments from Infrastructure Canada. A notable exception was a $700 million payment to the Samuel De Champlain Bridge that had been planned for 2018-19, and was postponed to 2019-20. Under human resources, the 23% increase in the number of full time employees at the Department contributed to the higher spending in 2018-19.

Statutory funding from the federal Gas Tax Fund remained largely stable at just under $2.2 billion.
