• the Trade and Commerce Grid Strategy, which will expand the grid of highways that can support heavy commercial loading;
• the International Trade Hub, which will:
  - enhance the province’s transportation mobility and connectivity;
  - ensure safety and reliability across the highway network;
  - enable industry expansion that leverages Manitoba’s diverse economy; and
  - build climate resiliency;
• the expansion of CentrePort Canada, which is North America’s largest tri-modal inland port and foreign trade zone;
• upgrades to the rail line to Churchill, which will improve service to isolated communities; and
• the proposed Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin Outlet Channels Project, which represents a significant step in Manitoba’s long-term climate resiliency and flood mitigation plan, to provide improved flood protection for Lake Manitoba and Lake St. Martin.
