Program activity 1 contributes to the Government of Canada's "Strong Economic Growth" outcome area. By supporting modern public infrastructure, Infrastructure Canada promotes the growth and competitiveness of Canada's economy by, for example, facilitating the flow of goods and people, promoting interprovincial and international trade through gateways and corridors, supporting tourism, and increasing the use of e-commerce.

Infrastructure Canada is part of the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities (TIC) portfolio. Infrastructure Canada collaborates with other federal departments and agencies to deliver many of its infrastructure programs; e.g., Indian and Northern Affairs Canada works with Infrastructure Canada to implement projects in the territories and those that involve First Nations in the provinces. Infrastructure Canada also works closely with Western Economic Diversification Canada, Industry Canada (Ontario), Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
These departments and agencies share their knowledge of local needs and priorities, as well as their technical expertise, resources and governance structures and are critical to Infrastructure Canada's ability to fulfill its mandate. For transport-related projects from the Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund and the Border Infrastructure Fund, Transport Canada provides the federal lead role while Infrastructure Canada provides a supportive role.
In addition to federal partners, Infrastructure Canada collaborates with provincial, territorial and municipal governments and associations, as well as universities, research institutes, civil society organizations, the private sector and other experts. This collaboration is intended to:

The objective of reporting on Horizontal Initiatives is to provide Parliamentarians, the public and the government with an overall picture of public expenditures, plans, priorities and achievements for all major horizontal initiatives.
A Horizontal Initiative is an initiative in which partners from two or more organizations have agreed, under a formal funding agreement, to work towards the achievement of shared outcomes. Over the last year, Infrastructure Canada led four horizontal initiatives: Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund, Border Infrastructure Fund, Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund and Infrastructure Canada Program.
Supplementary information on the above-mentioned Horizontal Initiatives can be found at http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/rma/eppi-ibdrp/hrdb-rhbd/profil_e.asp.
