Thank you to the witnesses for coming here today and sharing your expertise. We really appreciate it.
My first question is for Mr. Lyall.
Just to give a little background on me, I'm a construction electrician. I've been a construction electrician for 20 years and have built many buildings.
There's been a lot of talk about modernizing construction. The buildings in Canada are built based on various parameters: building codes, climate, geography and various building materials. Most construction projects are by bid price. General contractors and builders are trying to build things as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. It's about the design of the bid specification building process.
As an expert in the construction industry, what is Build Canada Homes going to do to modernize construction that the industry isn't already doing for itself?
