Business Council statement on Gordie Howe International Bridge opening

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is a powerful example of what can be accomplished when governments, businesses and communities work together toward a shared goal.

As the Business Council of Canada noted when the bridge was first announced in 2012, the new bridge will help keep people, goods and investment moving efficiently and will strengthen the competitiveness of businesses on both sides of the border, supporting good jobs for generations to come.

As we look to the future, Canada must continue to invest in the infrastructure that supports economic growth and enhances our ability to compete globally. The Gordie Howe International Bridge demonstrates the value of thinking big, acting boldly and building for the long term.
