20年前来加拿大的时候，都觉得加拿大简直路路四通八达，宽敞气派，高速畅通无阻。

可是20年过去，亚洲如今的道路建设，已经把加拿大甩了不知道几个太平洋。

好在自由党把持加拿大最大的省安大略省15年之后，安省重新回到保守党政府手中，现在正在逐步拨乱反正。

Ministry of Transportation

The Ontario government is putting people first by investing $1.3 billion to rebuild and restore highways across the province. Jeff Yurek, Minister of Transportation announced funding for projects that will help create jobs for Ontario's construction industry and keep our highways safe and reliable so that Ontario has a transportation network that encourages job creation, investment and trade in every region across the province.

"Our government is delivering on our commitment to be open for business and open for jobs. We are determined to improve our transportation infrastructure and create good jobs for our construction industry," said Yurek.

Today's announcement confirms that the government is planning to proceed with 123 rehabilitation projects across the province.

"As our government manages Ontario's finances in a responsible manner, we are protecting services that matter most, including road maintenance," Yurek said. "No matter what the service, policy, program or investment, our government puts people at the heart of our decision making. This funding is a clear example of that commitment. We are working to improve road safety for all Ontarians."

"Our work is about investing in people, in safety, and in the success of Ontario. The government's commitment to transportation infrastructure funding supports the continued success of Ontario's road building contractors who have strong, proven track records and close ties with local communities, as well as supporting the provincial tax base. With the announcement today, contractors are able to plan their operations, hire staff, mobilize equipment and invest in supply chains and local economies across Ontario," said Steve Smith, President, Ontario Road Builders' Association.

"ORBA members build virtually all of the provincial and municipal roads, bridges and transportation infrastructure across the province and the road building sector directly employs in excess of 30,000 workers at peak season. The announcement today helps us continue our work with the government on connecting and enhancing the productivity of communities, alleviating congestion, and enhancing the safety of everyone who uses Ontario's transportation infrastructure," said Bryan Hocking, Chief Operating Officer, Ontario Road Builders' Association.
