A promised $2 billion investment in large-scale energy retrofits will be central to the Canadian government’s job creation ambitions. The funding was announced today as part of a three-year, $10-billion spending package to be known as the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) Growth Plan. It follows a pledge to spur a green and resilient economic recovery from COVID-19, made in last week’s Speech from the Throne at the launch of new parliamentary session.
