Ontario Cutting Red Tape to Support Jobs and Growth in the Construction Industry

Changes Will Help Workers and Businesses Resolve Disputes Faster and Get Paid on Time

TORONTO — Today, Attorney General Doug Downey announced an essential next step to the full implementation of a first-in-Canada prompt payment regime to support jobs and growth in the construction industry. This regime will help cut through red tape, help create and protect jobs and attract investment to the province.

The implementation of these changes will prevent payment disputes from delaying work on construction projects, speed up the payment process and reduce time and money spent on litigation for businesses.
