A list of upcoming federal government projects could include new port infrastructure in Churchill, Man., Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday.

Carney’s comments about the northern Manitoba site came as he said the federal government will spend half a trillion dollars on infrastructure projects, ranging from energy to ports to intelligence.

“A number of those investments, the first of which we will be formally announcing in the next two weeks, are with respect to new port infrastructure,” Carney said in Germany, where the prime minister met with Chancellor Friedrich Merz and announced an agreement with the European country on critical minerals and energy.
