Ontario’s Construction Act has recently been updated, introducing new rules that impact public sector construction contracts and their administration. For public procurement professionals, these changes raise important considerations around contract terms, risk management, compliance, and dispute resolution.
Join Jason J. Annibale and Natasha Rodrigues of McMillan LLP for this Coffee with Counsel session as they provide an overview of the already-in-force Construction Act amendments and discuss what public procurement professionals need to know now. The session will focus on understanding the nature of the updates, potential implications for public sector procurement, and key areas where procurement teams may need to work closely with legal and project stakeholders.
This session will help public procurement professionals:
- Build awareness of recent updates to Ontario’s Construction Act
- Understand potential impacts on construction contract administration and the resolution of disputes
- Identify considerations from a legal and risk perspective
- Gain insight into issues to watch for as the construction industry adjusts to the implemented changes
