Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to everyone who's presented today.
I'd like to start off with the NTCCC and then the CCA.
We need to applaud that endeavour to bring prompt payment legislation into the BIA and get it to where we are now. I can still remember having a conversation with the Honourable Judy Sgro and the Honourable Judy Foote, who is no longer with us here in Ottawa but in Newfoundland, and explaining why it's so important that we ensure that some contractors receive timely payment for their services. It's great to see it in the legislation and I applaud all those involved and I thank you for allowing me the chance to participate in a number of meetings over the last three years with the NTCCC and the CCA and the CISC as well, the Steel Institute folks.
You folks have pointed out some things that could potentially be improved in the bill. Don't restate the whole brief, but I wonder if you could quickly review what we could do to strengthen the bill and get it to where the Ontario prompt payment legislation is, which was brought in by the Wynne government, and which should be applauded.
