  • CISC Urges the Canadian Government to Take Action on Critical Issues Impacting the Steel Construction Industry at Annual Day on the Hill

     A national delegation of Members & Associates from the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) led the discussion at Parliament Hill on November 6, 2018 at the fourth annual Day on the Hill. CISC’s Members & Associates met with parliamentarians from all political parties to support and take action on critical issues in the steel construction industry, including prompt payment legislation, the removal of U.S. Section 232 steel tariffs and LNG Canada’s remission request regarding waived duties on fabricated industrial steel components (FISC).

    Prompt Payment Legislation
    The steel industry is urging government for immediate federal prompt payment legislation in construction. The federal government has held one of the largest and most extensive cross-Canadian consultation processes between January and June of 2018. As a result, they have recommendations for immediate legislation from the same lawyers that brought Bill 142, The Ontario Construction Act, into being in 2017. The recommendations have garnered full construction industry support from the general contractors down to the trades and suppliers. Legislation will benefit the small to medium construction companies, which represent 70 per cent of all employers in the construction sector and comprise of 1.4 million people in Canada. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) are the real employers of the middle class and need prompt payment legislation now to ensure a future for their companies and their employers. The federal government has the research, the recommendations, the support and the ability to dramatically affect the middle class with no cost to the tax payer. It’s time to act.
