BIG news today for Canada and for Dartmouth—Cole Harbour

Today, we announced more than $3 billion in new infrastructure and defence-related investments across Atlantic Canada. Canada has also reached NATO’s 2% defence spending target as we continue to step up in a changing and more uncertain world.

This isn’t about spending for the sake of spending. It’s about investing in the women and men of the Canadian Armed Forces by increasing their salaries, strengthening defence infrastructure, expanding our capabilities, supporting Canada’s defence industry, and diversifying our defence partnerships.

I want to highlight a couple of incredible new investments right here in Dartmouth—Cole Harbour:

  • $82.5 million to acquire the 475-acre waterfront property in Eastern Passage, the former refinery lands marketed as Halifax Gate. This will support current and future Royal Canadian Navy operations, including the movement of personnel, ships, and supplies.
  • $60 million for a new 140-unit apartment complex in Dartmouth, a short drive to 12 Wing Shearwater, giving Canadian Armed Forces members better access to safe, high-quality housing close to where they serve.

With so many Canadian Armed Forces members in our community, this matters. These investments support local jobs, strengthen our role in Canada’s defence, and make sure the people who serve have the infrastructure and housing they deserve.

Dartmouth—Cole Harbour plays a critical role. We always have, and people here understand how important it is to invest in our military.
