1 PM - 2 PM ET

Virtual Event
Registration closes December 5, 2025 - 12 PM ET.
 

In June 2025, the federal government passed Bill C-5, creating two new laws: the Building Canada Act, to fast-track national infrastructure projects, and the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act, to reduce interprovincial barriers. While federal in scope, these changes will affect local governments and broader public sector organizations, particularly in procurement and trade agreements.

This session builds on the article “Bill C-5 – Fast-Tracking National Interest Projects in Canada,” authored by McMillan LLP in the September issue of the Caveat Emptor newsletter, and will highlight what Bill C-5 means for public sector organizations, with a focus on opportunities, challenges, and practical considerations for procurement professionals.
