Subject Matter Details

Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution, Policies or Program, Regulation

Budget: The Canadian Construction Association continues to advocate for changes to federal government investment and tax policies. Specifically, the CCA supports: the creation of a long-term infrastructure plan in order to assist the custodians of core public infrastructure with the modernization and expansion of these assets to meet current and future economic needs; changes to current capital depreciation rules for mobile assets so as to encourage fleet modernization within the construction sector; changes to the capital depreciation rules for energy efficient retrofits in existing residential and commercial buildings; funding to help upgrade Canada's community college network; and improved tax incentives for employers that participate in apprenticeship training.
Skilled Labour Policy: In order to overcome skilled labour scarcity across Canada, the Canadian Construction Association continues to advocate for legislative, regulatory and policy reforms with the intent to promote increased domestic skilled trade and apprenticeship training, as well as facilitate the entry of skilled trade labour under Canadian immigration programs.
Sustained and Adequate Federal Funding for National Infrastructure Modernization and Development: The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) is working to ensure that the Government of Canada commits through the development of its Long-term Infrastructure Plan to provide secure and stable funding for national infrastructure modernization and development in order to enhance Canadian productivity and promote economic growth.

Policies or Program

ALTERNATIVE SERVICE DELIVERY: The Canadian Construction Association believes federal departments should be looking increasingly to the private sector for the delivery of operations and maintenance services. In many cases, Canadian firms are engaged abroad carrying out O&M operations on behalf of other governments, but are prevented from doing so in Canada because of federal policy. The CCA through a special sub-committee of the Association, the Facilities Operation and Maintenance Associations of Canada, has been pressing for changes in federal policy to open up operations and maintenance services to private sector operators. There services can include: engineering and construction; facilities and infrastructure operations and maintenance; electrical power generations, water and waste water treatment; environmental science and emergency response; bulk fuel management; food services, janitorial and laundry services at Canadian military bases; roads and grounds construction and maintenance; logistics, transport and vehicle maintenance; medical and dental services; and airport operations, including air traffic control and cross serving. maintenance
Federal Integrity Framework: Application of a mandatory debarment period for firms convicted of the prescribed offences.
SECURITY CLEARANCES: The Canadian Construction Association has been working with Treasury Board Secretariat and Public Works and Government Services to help simplify the process for contractors to the federal government to obtain security clearances. Currently, when a contractors wish to perform work for the federal government, they must obtain individual clearances from each department they work for. In most cases, the clearances of individual companies and employees are all conducted by the RCMP; however, obtaining a clearance to work for one department is NOT transferable for work done for another department of government. This place a tremendous burden on contractors as they must pay for each individual clearance, in some cases several clearances if they are working for multiple departments at the same time. CCA has been advocating a single government window for security clearances and that these clearances be accepted government wide.
