As of October 2018, Attorney General David Eby has advised BCCA that his office will undertake a consultation on Ontario’s prompt payment legislation, as we requested. The goal is to “be in a position to proceed in the same manner as the Ontario government and make amendments to the lien provisions in the Act at the same time as the prompt payment provisions are added.”

BCCA will continue to advise the Attorney General regarding the urgency of this issue and ensure a timely outcome.
