Quebec passed Bill 108, an Act to facilitate oversight of public bodies’ contracts and to establish the Autorité des marchés publics. This allows the provincial government to implement pilot projects intended to test various construction law reforms for public contracts and subcontracts. The assessments will include a prompt payment regime, adjudication and accountability reporting measures. The CISC will continue to maintain an open dialogue with the provincial government about the importance of prompt payment to ensure the right legislation is developed in Quebec.
