That's a good question. One of the biggest problem areas we're experiencing and have experienced is what I'll call systemic barriers. There are real opportunities in the world of proptech, or property technology. There's Archistar, LandLogic and Devenex. Different companies that can do things a lot faster are coming forward.
It varies in different parts across the country, but certainly in parts of Ontario and central Ontario, that needs to be modernized, and it can be. Things that take months and years to get done we should be able to do in days and weeks. We need to digitize things. Of course, that works backward into the realm of design, with building information modelling and that kind of thing too. There are real opportunities there.
One thing that industry had done well is it has adopted technology well. We've adopted new methods well. We build in other parts of the world. We jokingly say that if you can build here, you could build anywhere.
The productivity measures haven't been really that accurate. One of our biggest problems over the years, as it has taken longer to get things approved, is that things like unit labour costs start looking really ugly. That's not because of the industry's level of sophistication; it's just that we've gummed up the works that much more.
I think Build Canada Homes could play a real role here in driving and encouraging the modernization and digitization of our procedures.
