Open Letter from Industry Partners Regarding BC Prompt Payment

October 23, 2023

From BC Construction Association:

The priority of the BC Construction Association (BCCA), the Electrical Contractor’s Association of BC (ECABC), the Mechanical Contractors Association of BC (MCABC), and the 28 more industry partners co-signing this letter remains unwavering.

We fervently believe that Prompt Payment Legislation, Lien Reform, and Adjudication are a boon to BC’s economic health. Without these, one of BC’s largest and most essential industries struggles in the face of this province’s ongoing and urgent need for more housing and infrastructure development. The signatories of this letter come together both in welcoming the BC government’s intention to examine Prompt Payment Legislation for British Columbia and in supporting its rapid enactment.
