Ford asks Carney to prioritize ‘nation-building’ projects including Highway 401 tunnel
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is seeking Prime Minister Mark Carney’s support for several plans for the province, including his desire to build a tunnel under Highway 401.
In a letter sent to the prime minister by Ford on Monday, the premier outlined a series of proposed Ontario projects that he described as “nation-building.”
“At the March 21, 2025, First Ministers’ Meeting, you made a promise to Premiers to take urgent action to cut red tape and streamline approvals for nation-building projects,” Ford wrote.
“At that same meeting, you asked Premiers to identify which nation-building projects in their province or territory they would recommend that the federal government prioritize.”
