With the upcoming federal election day nearing, the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) is calling on successful candidates to take their support for Canadian construction from the campaign trail and into the House of Commons.

Candidates across the country have added their voice to the Construction for Canadians campaign, showing their support for Canadian construction and emphasizing its importance to the nation’s economy and growth.

“We appreciate the commitments federal parties, candidates and leaders have made on infrastructure during this election,” said Rodrigue Gilbert, president of the Canadian Construction Association. “Now, it’s time to follow through.”

The organization says construction isn’t just about building — it’s about good jobs for hardworking Canadians, safe, reliable infrastructure for communities across the country, and a robust, resilient economy. With tariffs and economic uncertainty, a strong, sustainable Canada needs a strong, sustainable construction industry.

“The industry was facing challenges before the current crisis and will continue to face these same hurdles if systemic inefficiencies and chronic underinvestment are not addressed,” emphasized Gilbert. “Short-term strategies aren’t good enough. To unlock the full potential of construction in driving Canada forward, we need long-term solutions.”

Through initiatives such as the Construction for Canadians campaign, as well as its other industry efforts, the CCA says Canada’s construction sector is ready and willing to work with the next federal government to implement the investments and policies required to enable much needed infrastructure that will support trade, transport and housing.
