Analysts identified two particularly problematic infrastructure projects: the Eglinton Crosstown light-rail transit system in Toronto and the Gordie Howe international bridge.

The lines aim to meet the needs of new and growing industries and help attract future jobs to the regions. 

The project includes construction of a new building in downtown Toronto to replace existing facilities for patients with complex mental illness.

A major report by city staff in Toronto takes calls for new affordable housing builds – and billions of dollars’ worth of support from the federal and provincial governments.

They say that qualifying for a piece of the $1.2-billion fund should be based on how many building permits they approve, rather than being based on housing starts.
