With tariffs on Canadian goods at 25% and retaliatory measures still a potential threat, Ontario’s electrical contracting industry is bracing for impact. From skyrocketing material costs to supply chain nightmares, contractors must now navigate new financial and legal risks on every project. This session breaks down the real-world impact of tariffs on construction pricing, contract wording, and competitive pressures. Attendees will hopefully gain practical strategies to mitigate risk, including how to revise contracts, qualify bids, diversify supply chains, and manage pricing volatility.
