新统计数据显示,加拿大东部省份魁北克和安大略省正在领导该国的建筑行业从共同的19日驱动的衰退中反弹,尽管西部艾伯塔省已经落后。

Ontario, the country’s largest province with a major infrastructure sector, began to see construction activity—as measured by work hours—start to rebound at the end of May and peaked in September, rising 25% above a baseline in mid-March, according to Procore Technologies, a provider of construction management software, which publishes a weekly index.

总体而言,整个加拿大的建设活动现在比基线高11%。

魁北克在工作数量的数量中看到了急剧的低迷,后来又有急剧的上升。

Construction activity in the province had plunged 97% below the baseline by the week of April 5, before starting to rebound in May and June. By mid-September, construction work hours in Quebec were 50% higher than in mid-March.

Alberta has continued to struggle, with slumping oil-and-gas prices having depressed construction activity in the energy-dependent province.

根据Procore的说法,工作时间开始下降,六月开始下降,低于9月初的基线35%,然后反弹至3月份的水平低于19%。

“That certainly tracks with what I am hearing from our members,” said John Gamble, president and CEO of ACEC/Canada, adding that the drop in Alberta “is tied to the downturn in oil and gas.”

相比之下,不列颠哥伦比亚省的整体活动速度几乎没有变化,建筑继续前进,这是有争议的跨山管道,这是环保主义者和积极分子的抗议活动的主要目标,来自土著部落在该项目的道路上。

但是,该项目的业务原理在帕克兰研究所,维多利亚大学和加拿大政策替代中心的一项新研究中也受到了攻击。新利luck

The project, taken over by the Canadian government in 2018 and re-approved in 2019, has seen its prospects dim amid a major cost increase, rising from $5.6 billion to its current price-tag of $9.5 billion.

The study calls the government’s plans to spend $9.5 billion on the pipeline “counterproductive,” adding it is “unlikely to increase the profits of Canadian producers or result in a revenue stream that will both cover construction costs and provide additional funds to reduce emissions in a meaningful timeframe.”
