Initiative (APGCI), the Build-
        
        
          ing Canada Fund ($8.8 bil-
        
        
          lion) and, more recently, the
        
        
          New Building Canada Fund
        
        
          ($14-billion). These funding
        
        
          programs support projects of
        
        
          national, regional and local
        
        
          significance that promote eco-
        
        
          nomic growth, job creation
        
        
          and productivity.  The APGCI is
        
        
          a Federal program to improve
        
        
          the flow of goods and servic-
        
        
          es between Asia and Canada
        
        
          through strategic investment
        
        
          in port, railway, and highway
        
        
          projects. Essentially, these are
        
        
          federal funds that leverage
        
        
          money from other levels of
        
        
          government and stakeholders
        
        
          to develop infrastructure proj-
