8 ICI Sectors Covered

The 2026 Ontario Budget — A Plan to Protect Ontario — was tabled on March 26, 2026 against a backdrop of U.S. tariff-driven economic uncertainty. For Ontario's ICI construction industry, the aggregate signal is unmistakably positive: sustained, multi-year public investment across all regions of the province.

With private-sector demand softened by trade uncertainty, the public-sector pipeline is not just growing — it is becoming the dominant market driver for 2026 through at least 2029. This analysis, prepared by KBR for LDCA, breaks down what that means sector by sector.
