BUILDING AN EQUITABLE, INCLUSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE CANADA: HOW A COMMUNITY BENEFITS POLICY PACKAGE WILL HELP GET US THERE
The Toronto Community Benefits Network and our allies are writing to ask for the federal Government to embrace a policy package that would require community benefits for:
- Infrastructure and built environment projects on federally owned land and buildings,
- Infrastructure and built environment projects on federally owned land and buildings that are being sold or leased to the market
- Federally funded provincial/territorial and municipal infrastructure projects and
- Federal social procurement and supply chain diversity
Our policy brief includes five recommendations that are critical to the federal recovery plan. The recommendations include:
- Federal Community Benefits Stewardship Policy
- Freeze on All Federal Asset Sales
- CBA Requirement for Federal Infrastructure and Build Environment Expenditures
- Enhance the Community Employment Benefit Program
- Leverage Government Buying Power for Impact
