#CANADA: PM Trudeau Seeking To Speed Up Infrastructure Spending To Jump-Start Ailing Economy

Trudeau promised during last fall's election campaign to pump an additional $60 billion over 10 years into infrastructure projects. But less than half - $17.4 billion - is budgeted to be spent during the Liberals' first term.
