Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have a few comments. I do need to applaud one of my colleagues who worked on this for a very long time, the honourable Judy Sgro. She has been a big advocate for prompt payment legislation at the federal level for a very long time. I do wish to thank the minister, the honourable Carla Qualtrough, and parliamentary secretary MacKinnon.
I attended a number of the meetings, and it is something that impacts many of my stakeholders in the area I represent, a lot of GCs and subcontractors in the area. I'm glad to see this legislation in the BIA.
I have a quick question. What percentage of construction contracts are awarded at the provincial level in the total bucket in Canada?
