The federal government has an important role to play in setting an example, by giving flexibility on timelines and other contract terms, as well as providing financial relief on projects tendered before the pandemic, to ensure liquidity of the construction industry. We need to make sure that businesses that are continuing their work, are doing so in a safe manner, that promotes the health of workers. We also need to make sure that continuing to work does not lead to undue financial hardship for the construction industry.


Sincerely,
Canadian Institute of Steel Construction
