The National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada (NTCCC) members will be meeting with MPP’s at the Ontario Legislative Building in Queen’s park, Toronto, Ontario on November 18, 2009 in support of local industry. There are several proposed changes to the Construction Lein Act, particularly with regards to prompt payment which NTCCC will support. If successful, the NTCCC will use the Ontario program as a template for other provincial jurisdictions where changes may need to be implemented.

NTCCC DAY ON THE HILL
- OTTAWA, May 20, 2009
NTCCC DAY ON THE HILL - OTTAWA, May 11, 2010
 The
National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada (NTCCC) visited Parliament Hill urging politicians to create Prompt Payment Legislation to alleviate some of the pressure from the current economic situation affecting their businesses across Canada. 

The NTCCC explained that the solution to the delayed payment problem is Prompt Payment Legislation, similar to what already exists in the United Kingdom and the United States.  Prompt payment legislation in Canada would provide contractors with the tools to ensure that their businesses can remain competitive and productive, and would also encourage a culture of prompt payment that is presently absent and is much needed.

The National Trade Contractors Coalition of Canada has undertaken several additional initiatives which are now in development or under consideration.

NTCCC has developed a "Best Practices Guide" which is based on the excellent guide originally developed by the Vancouver regional Construction Association, and with their permission.

NTCCC has also created a link to educational programs which are available to all NTCCC constituent members with some of the industries leading management trainers through the "National Seminar Program".

The NTCCC Standard Document Promotional Committee is very excited to announce the new "Guide to the CCA 1 - 2008 Stipulated Price Subcontract" You can download a copy free or order a hard copy from the NTCCC office.
