Investments address local and regional infrastructure needs, while advancing national priorities. Funds help make the water Canadians drink and the air they breathe cleaner, keep people and goods on the move, and make Canada's economy stronger. In Budget 2007,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Archived - Budget 2007: A Stronger, Safer, Better Canada )〕 Infrastructure Canada launched the seven-year $33 billion Building Canada Plan addressing local and regional infrastructure needs, while advancing national priorities that are important to all Canadians: a stronger economy, a cleaner environment, and better communities. This plan covers infrastructure investments in water, wastewater, public transit, and other key national priorities and will continue to run to 2014. In Budget 2009,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Budget 2009 - Home page )〕 the Government of Canada announced that it would be delivering short-term stimulus programs as part of its Economic Action Plan to fight the effects of the global recession. The Economic Action Plan infrastructure programs that were delivered by Infrastructure Canada helped communities across the country by funding projects that were ready to start quickly. This funding enabled communities to repair roads and bridges, build public spaces, invest in community facilities and improve drinking water facilities. Through the Government of Canada's Economic Action Plan, Infrastructure Canada supported about 6,400 projects. In Budget 2011,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Budget 2011 - Home Page )〕 the Government of Canada committed to working with partners and stakeholders to develop a long-term plan for public infrastructure that will continue after the Building Canada Plan winds down in 2014.
