We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to designate Trans-Canada Highway 11 as a Project of National Interest under the Building Canada Act. Highway 11 requires upgrades to protect the safety of all travellers and endure the reliable interprovincial movement of goods.
