The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) congratulates the newly appointed members of Canada’s 31st Ministry, expressing optimism about the opportunity for renewed collaboration between government and industry. CCA President Rodrigue Gilbert welcomed the fresh faces in the cabinet, emphasizing the urgent need for innovative thinking and regional expertise to address pressing challenges such as labour shortages, outdated procurement models, and ongoing disruptions to global trade.

Canada’s construction sector, a major contributor to economic growth and infrastructure development, is eager to work alongside the new federal cabinet. The industry calls on Prime Minister Carney’s administration to act on key election promises related to infrastructure investment, internal trade, procurement reform, and housing — all of which have direct implications for communities across the country.

Gilbert stressed that now is the time for action and meaningful engagement. By consulting industry leaders, the government can ensure practical and forward-thinking solutions that align with Canada’s long-term economic and infrastructure goals. The CCA encourages a collaborative approach that supports sustainable development, modernized policies, and a resilient construction workforce — all essential to building a stronger, more prosperous Canada.
