VANCOUVER - The federal infrastructure minister is pledging to disburse a "fair share" of new funding to every region of the country, even while some provincial economies flag and others project growth.
Amarjeet Sohi says his goal is to equitably divide billions in additional cash that the recently elected Liberal government has promised to infuse into the national economy.
The government has pledged $60 billion over the next decade on stimulus.
Sohi outlined the Liberals' broad plan to promote growth to the Vancouver Board of Trade on Thursday and later told reporters his department hasn't determined how the money will be allocated.
The minister wouldn't say whether the government is planning to help the hardest hit regions, like Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador.
He also wouldn't say whether stronger economies in British Columbia and Ontario will get less.
