Heenan Blaikie senior partner Geza Banfai gave a presentation at the recent Canadian Institute of Steel Construction conference in Whistler on prompt payment legislation and was able to speak with the Journal of Commerce about current initiatives in Ontario and elsewhere.
Banfai said the legislation has not yet become law in Ontario but that the efforts to change regulations have garnered the attention of both the construction industry and the provincial government.
He added that efforts varied on a province to province basis but that if prompt payment legislation comes to fruition in Ontario changes might occur in other parts of the country as well.
