Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution
- Prompt Payment Legislation. We are requesting the government to enact Federal Prompt Payment legislation to provide immediate relief to construction industry trades – the life blood of the Canadian construction industry, and to accelerate the timelines for payment to the construction trades on government funded projects.
Policies or Program
- Canadian Content for Government Procurement. We will be lobbying various MP's, Senators and Ministers to have them include a minimum requirement for Canadian materials in federal infrastructure spending. We are requesting the above mentioned individuals include a policy that would outline this request in any federal infrastructure projects moving forward.
Policies or Program, Regulation
- Free and Fair Trade. We are proposing the adoption of a Federal Reciprocal Procurement Act based on the following foundational principles: Federal government supports the concept of free and fair trade, supports the concept of reciprocal procurement and while respecting current trade agreements, reserves the right to prohibit government procurement of products and services from a foreign country (and/or state within) that restricts or limits access of Canadian suppliers and manufacturers.
