North American Infrastructure Market


The Canada-US Infrastructure Council (CUSIC) is an initiative of the US Consulate in Toronto and The Infrastructure Lab. Its mandate is to promote bilateral dialogue and cross-border collaboration in three priority areas and work streams: developing a North America infrastructure market; building robust project pipelines; and, advancing lifecycle thinking.

The purpose of this survey is to identify the underlying issues that cause challenges for companies operating in both the United States and Canada, as well as interprovincial and interstate barriers. The results of this survey will be used to develop a report on the current status of the North American infrastructure market.

Thank you for your feedback.
