What the federal election’s results mean for engineering

The Liberal Party's framework under Prime Minister Mark Carney, having secured a fourth consecutive government, focuses significantly on infrastructure and sustainable development. Plans include establishing a new federal entity, Build Canada Homes, to innovate and drive the building of prefabricated housing using sustainable materials like mass timber. The platform also prioritizes transforming Canada into an energy superpower by leveraging both conventional and clean energy resources, while offering investment tax credits for technologies addressing carbon emissions. Additionally, government buildings aim to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
