Why is the NRTSI important to your organization?

It provides an opportunity to engage important stakeholders on the need to maintain, enhance, and invest in strategic infrastructure such as roads and highways for our collective health and safety, the economy, and our environment.

Canadian Automobile Association

Canada is in need of a unified approach and focused set of priorities to maintain and enhance its infrastructure to be able to compete in the Global Market.

Provides one central meeting point for all orders of government to discuss infrastructure issues; otherwise, we would need to approach orders of government separately.

Provides an opportunity for stakeholders to focus on infrastructure issues, and have people thinking about infrastructure related issues. Otherwise, many issues would not receive the critical attention that they require.

A good opportunity to network with other groups, stakeholders, governments, etc. involved in infrastructure issues. A good opportunity for relationship building. It also provides a valuable forum to receive updates on infrastructure issues from the various orders of government, and fromprivate staekholders.

To bring a wider perspective together on issues of mutual concern and to provide a forum for debate and reflection.

The NRTSI is important to ACEC as it presents us with a medium from which we can share in the future of Canada's infrastructure through open discussion of innovative and sustainable techniques for remediation and construction of old and new infrastructure. The resources of the government, NGOs, construction, materials and standards that are available to the Round Table are significantly in a position to be effective through cooperation and similar objectives.

The NRTSI is important to my organisation because:

• Infrastructure is a key contributor to the socio-economic well being of Canadians.
• No other forum exists to discuss issues common to all aspects of infrastructure, including potable and wastewater systems, sewers and transportation.
• It fills a niche that other organisations are unable to satisfy.
