In order to build towards a brighter future for Ontario’s society and the economy as we transition past what we hope is the worst of the global pandemic, we strongly recommend the following measures be considered:
- Provide relief for contractors from pandemic related delay claims and unanticipated costs
- Strengthen the province’s workers’ compensation system
- Invest in public infrastructure maintenance and expansion; Deliver fully on your planned Infrastructure Program
- Undertake a review of the Construction Act
- Accelerate the development of Ontario’s new Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship System
- Work with the Federal Government to admit more immigrants with skilled trades qualifications
