VANCOUVER — B.C. is one of the last jurisdictions to make any major movement on prompt payment legislation and as such the British Columbia Construction Association is calling for action – now.
The BCCA has launched a new campaign that calls on British Columbians to send a digital letter to their MLA, urging them to pass prompt payment legislation.
With the looming threat of tariffs from the U.S. President Donald Trump administration, the BCCA states the province has to stand in solidarity with the construction industry, businesses and the workforce by implementing measures that support the sector and remove unnecessary barriers to interprovincial trade.
“British Columbia’s construction industry can’t keep waiting for payment certainty,” said Chris Atchison, president of the BCCA, in a statement. “Our province depends on its construction industry to get the job done: the people who build B.C. deserve to be paid on time.
“This legislation is already in place in most provinces. B.C.’s failure to implement this policy is unfairly burdening hard-working British Columbians and weakening our ability to compete nationally.”
