NLCA 2023

Message from the Chair PATRICK LAFRENIERE

It is no secret that the global pandemic has had a profound impact on all sectors including the construction industry in Newfoundland and Labrador. Project delays, cancellations, travel restrictions, lockdowns, job losses, increased health protocol costs have posed many challenges over the last two years.

But through it all, NLCA has never stopped working on behalf of its more than 600 members. As the voice of the industry, the association remains committed to supporting members through advocacy, education and networking. Having served on the board for six years, I’m proud to be the current chair and feel that our association has never been more relevant and important.

The natural resources sector downturn has meant low volume of work for many of our members. That’s why we have been actively advocating the need for infrastructure spending and shovel worthy projects to all levels of government. Strategic investments in infrastructure — roads, bridges, airports, hospitals — are critical to the province’s economic growth and the well-being of our communities.

We are beginning to see some positive signs with several announcements of oil and energy projects as well as mining opportunities in central Newfoundland and Labrador. Approval by Ottawa of the $16 billion Bay du Nord development is big news and we showcase the project inside this edition. All these megaprojects will mean economic spinoff opportunities throughout the construction chain.

I would like to remind members that NLCA offers a range of services, programs and benefits. One that I would like to focus on is the Centre of Ecovation, a pillar of the association that offers members a resource for innovation, products and emerging technologies. Sharing ideas through this centre will help the industry to innovate the way we build, increase productivity and to meet the carbon targets that governments are requiring.

With the pandemic restrictions, it certainly hasn’t been business as usual with the NLCA’s traditional calendar of events and activities disrupted, cancelled or moved online. So as in-person events return, I’m hopeful that I can connect with many of you to share information and ideas or to discuss any concerns you may have before my term ends in 2023.

I’m very optimistic about the outlook for next year and through NLCA’s advocacy work, we are hoping to spur more horizontal and vertical construction. In the meantime, the industry still faces an uphill climb but remember the NLCA team is ready and here to help you along the way.

Message from the President/COO RHONDA NEARY

Welcome to the 2023 edition of the Construction Journal . It has been a couple of years since our last edition and we’re excited to be back. We have partnered with MediaEdge Communications, a market leader in print and digital publishing, to produce the Journal and we hope you enjoy the fresh look.

Despite all the extraordinary challenges posed by the global pandemic, NLCA’s priorities remain unchanged — acting as a strong voice for our members and advocating at all levels of government to encourage both short and long term infrastructure spending. We’ve undertaken face-to-face meetings with various municipalities about challenges and opportunities, working collaboratively to find ways to move the dial forward.

To strengthen our advocacy efforts, we have teamed up with Impact Public Affairs, a full-service government relations and communications firm, to ensure we’re heard loud and clear about what is needed to keep the industry strong.

The construction industry has worked hard throughout the pandemic and I’m very proud to say we weren’t shut down and continued to provide the services and infrastructure needed in our communities. Our members pivoted, evolved and adapted as necessary to be compliant with all health and safety orders and regulations.

One of the most significant impacts of the pandemic across all sectors has been the shrinkage of the labour pool in Canada. The ongoing shortage of skilled workers remains a major issue for the construction sector in Atlantic Canada.

NLCA is actively addressing the issue by promoting the industry and working with apprenticeship groups to attract and engage young people. Our member firms work right across Canada and in many areas so the opportunities are unlimited. We continue to offer education and training through our Centre of Excellence and encourage members to find out what’s happening.

We have also expanded our social media channels to enhance our communications and launched a podcast series where seasoned professionals and members offer advice, share career path tips and more.

When we gather at our annual conference this year, it will be the first big in-person meeting since the pandemic hit. Members will have access to networking, innovative exhibitors and professional development sessions. The theme this year is: World Class Opportunities in Your Backyard, and I look forward to welcoming everyone. We will also be hosting for the first time Women in Construction — a one day forum on October 27th — where we will hear from some inspiring women and how they are making a difference in the sector.

As we wind down 2022, I’m optimistic that we’re on the road to recovery and that our sector will come out stronger and better. NLCA remains committed to supporting our members and that is only possible with the incredible team here that works hard every day to deliver member value through our services and programs.

I also want to thank the board of directors and volunteers on our committees for their time and commitment to the association. It has been a challenging few years but together with our valued stakeholders, we’re ready to help keep the industry moving forward.

Message from Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador

HONOURABLE ANDREW FUREY

Iam honoured to discuss with your readers the great things that are happening for the construction industry in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Construction on a new adult mental health and addictions hospital has been ongoing since 2020 and a new west coast hospital has been under construction since 2019. Both are employing tradespeople from Newfoundland and Labrador.

This year, we continue making significant investments in Infrastructure. Budget 2022 includes $567 million in funding, which will be used to ensure that construction on both of these hospitals can continue. It will also ensure that new construction projects can begin and we can continue to boost the economies of communities throughout the province.

Investments in infrastructure benefit the provincial economy. They improve schools, they build and maintain municipal infrastructure for healthier communities, they create better working environments, they construct safer roads, and they lead to better services for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

All of these projects, big and small, lead to better infrastructure and services. They help improve our economy and create work for your members.

Congratulations to the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association for publishing this year’s Construction Journal

Your association plays a valuable role in our provincial economy and improving Newfoundland and Labrador and we look forward to working together for your continued success this year and years to come.

Furey Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador

Honourable Andrew

Message from Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure HON. ELVIS LOVELESS

Congratulations to the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association for the 2023 edition of the Construction Journal. We are delighted to see the return of your publication.

Since becoming Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure and Minister Responsible for the Public Procurement Agency in April 2021, I have met with your members and seen first-hand the value they provide to our province.

Our government values this relationship and recognizes the substantial contributions your association and its more than 600 members make to our provincial economy.

The NLCA has represented our province’s commercial construction industry for more than 50 years, working with government to provide crucial infrastructure that makes a real difference in the lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

Our government has made replacing infrastructure a priority. We are already seeing the results of our efforts and it’s your members that help us reach our goals.

Budget 2022 includes $567 million in investments in infrastructure in Newfoundland and Labrador and these investments will help improve the lives for people in their communities and province. Association members will continue to play a significant role in realizing the projects associated with these investments.

Thanks to all NLCA members for sharing our goals to improve infrastructure and services in Newfoundland and Labrador. I commend the association’s commitment to our province and remind all members to always make safety the first priority.

TRANSFORMING MENTAL HEAL

BY CATHY CARTER

This 240,000 square foot (22,296 square metres) P3 facility will contain a 102-bed hospital and a new 60-bed hostel and include a forensic unit, two adult acute units, a geriatric unit, a short stay unit, and an eating disorder inpatient program. A new mental health emergency department will be colocated with the general adult emergency department at the Health Sciences Centre.

A parking structure with spaces for 1,000 vehicles was also constructed as part of this project and was completed in October 2021.

Construction of the new Adult Mental Health and Addictions Facility (NAMHAF) in St. John’s broke ground in April 2021 and is on schedule to be complete by late fall of 2024.

The new facility is representative of the government’s commitment to transform the way mental health and addictions services are delivered. It has been designed to offer a community-oriented service delivery model that focuses on client-centred care and a recovery-focused philosophy, reducing

stigma, and promoting community and family integration.

The design elements of the new facility — natural light, green spaces, artwork, colour palette and furniture — have been selected to create a holistic and welcoming environment conducive to recovery.

The patient rooms will receive direct daylight, as will the social spaces such as the lounges, television rooms, and dining rooms. Additionally, each in-patient unit will have access to a landscaped outdoor terrace space.

Inpatient amenities will include a therapeutic mall with services such as physiotherapy, a village square, a fitness studio, an art therapy program, and a horticultural suite.

EFFICIENCIES

Mechanical and electrical systems were designed to maximize patient comfort. An HVAC system that utilizes 100 per cent fresh air will maximize air quality and each patient bedroom will have individual temperature controls to further improve occupant comfort. General resident rooms will feature individual lighting controls, with three-way switches and residential-like pot lights (rather than

commercial fluorescent lighting) will foster a more home-like environment for residents.

Outside the building, shielded exterior light fixtures will be used to prevent glare and light from flooding onto neighbouring properties. This will also reduce light exposure to the night sky in compliance with dark sky design.

The facility has been designed to maximize operational efficiency while maximizing energy efficiency. Notable energy saving features include a robust exterior envelope (designed to reduce energy consumption), low resistance air filters (for improved energy performance), LED lighting, and energy efficient windows. New elevators will use a “green drive” that will capture the energy used as the elevators travel and feed it back into the building’s power grid. As elevator energy usage is a substantial cost for building owners, this technology will result in lower energy costs over time. The project is targeting LEED Silver certification.

Utilizing lean design principles, the placement of the elevator cores was designed to reduce staff travel distances, which in turn improves efficiency. The new facility is connected to the existing health sciences centre in four locations, which will interconnect service flows, patient transfers, public connection and staff connection efficiently into the corresponding zones of the Health Sciences Centre.

TEAM SUCCESS

This innovative facility is the work of Avalon Healthcare Partnership, a team comprising 13 companies including Plenary Americas (developer and equity provider), Marco/ Cahill Mental Health Partnership (designbuilder — comprised of Marco Group Limited and GJ Cahill 1979), B+H Architects (design team lead), John Hearn (local design consultant), Smith + Andersen (mechanical

and electrical design), Limited), and Cahill Facility Management Ltd. (service provider).

A key component of the team’s success is the presence of two established Newfoundland construction firms that teamed together as the design builder. With more than 40 years experience constructing in the challenging Atlantic Canadian climate, the Marco-Cahill team incorporated design and construction solutions to provide significant value to the Eastern Health Authority. At their suggestion, the team adopted the innovative CANADACAR parking structure system — a modular approach that uses hot-dipped galvanized structural steel and pre-cast concrete deck plates. This solution allowed the parkade itself to be completed in an astonishing 10 months, which was a strong value-add for a facility where parking was

already at a premium. Maintenance costs for garages constructed using the CANADACAR approach are 90 per cent lower than conventional parking structures, thus reducing the costs to the Authority over the lifespan of the building.

“Our work on this project, and the other P3 projects we have constructed in the province, demonstrates that Newfoundland and Labrador-based companies have the ability to compete on a national level for large projects,” says Marco president Allan MacIntosh. “With our extensive experience constructing in Atlantic Canada we ensured the products selected and the construction approach was suited for the region and that the tender packages were organized in a way that was suitable for the region’s trade contractors. This allowed us to engage a large number of Atlantic-based contractors on this project.”

Indeed, to date more than 90 per cent of all workers on site are residents of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is expected that more than 400 jobs will be created over the course of construction, with about 200 personnel on site during peak construction. This means that, not only will the project make a significant contribution to mental

health services offered in the province, it will also greatly benefit the local economy.

“It’s great to see so many local trades persons, suppliers, distributors, contractors, and consultants working in harmony with the province and Eastern Health in the development and construction of the NAMHAF,” says senior project manager and construction lead Michael Delli Colli. “We all have a personal stake in delivering a successful and very necessary project to the greater community of Newfoundland and Labrador.”

AWARD WINNING

The collaboration and innovation that has made this project a success has received national recognition. In November 2021 the project received a Silver Award for Project Development at the 2021 National Awards for Innovation and Excellence in Public-Private Partnerships. Presented by the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships, these awards showcase how partners are continuing to adapt and refine the ‘made-inCanada’ P3 model to create, deliver, operate, and maintain innovative and transformative infrastructure for their communities.

“The concept of connectivity lies at the heart of the design of the NAMHAF,” says B+H

principal and design lead, Chris McQuillan. “Its most essential connections are those made between whole body and mind care. Above all, the connections inherent in the facility aim to deinstitutionalize and destigmatize mental healthcare through an accessible, compassionate, empowering, and supportive environment, and we are proud to work with a collective of likeminded companies who will set a new benchmark for the delivery of mental health infrastructure Canada.”

FOCUS OF WORK

The building’s windows arrived in mid-May and by the end of June more than 175 windows were installed. It is expected that all windows will be installed by early fall of this year. Building enclosure is a critical milestone on the project schedule, as it is key to making the building weather tight, so the architectural finishes and interior work can be expedited.

Inside the new facility, room layout, steel stud erection, and wall board are in progress. Mechanical and electrical rough-ins are progressing on all floors.

Throughout the fall of 2022, finishes and millwork installation will begin in the South Tower, permanent power will be connected, and elevator installation will begin.

BAY DU NORD: A GENERATIONAL PROJECT

More energy projects on the horizon

At this juncture, when Canada is stepping up climate change mitigation at a time of entrenched economic headwinds, the Bay du Nord project offers the ability to accelerate the shift to a low-carbon economy without jeopardizing the medium-term potential of Canada’s natural resources.

Bay du Nord includes industry leading innovations in environmental mitigations, employee safety, and production. It will be the most carbon efficient offshore oil and gas project in Canada, with an emission intensity of approximately 8.0 kilograms per barrel and also half of the international average of 16.1 kilograms per barrel.

Global demand for oil and gas is continuing to increase and lower carbon intensity projects like Bay du Nord are part of a credible path to achieve net zero by 2050.

SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC BENEFITS

While the Bay du Nord project is set to be a leader in the oil and gas sector for ensuring low emissions, it will also provide significant financial benefits and employment

opportunities to Newfoundland and Labrador and all of Canada.

A study of the project’s economic impact commissioned by Energy NL and based on production of one billion barrels, estimates that Bay du Nord would boost Canada’s GDP by $97.6 billion and create or sustain 13,800 jobs. And most of these jobs would offer above-average wages.

While Newfoundland and Labrador would be the largest beneficiary, with $82 billion in GDP and more than 8,900 jobs, Bay du Nord would benefit the entire country. For example, Ontario would see an additional $7.2 billion in GDP and more than 2,200 jobs; Alberta would see $3.1 billion in GDP along with almost 700 jobs; and Quebec would see a GDP boost of $2.6 billion and more than 900 jobs.

Government revenues across Canada will also rise, which means more money to pay for health care, education, and other social priorities. Over the life of the project, the federal government will gain $10.7 billion in tax revenue, while provinces and municipalities outside Newfoundland and Labrador can expect to see $2.8 billion in tax revenue

Newfoundland and Labrador is home to an offshore energy project that has the potential to provide tremendous long-term economic benefits to the province — as well as the rest of Canada. At the same time, it will set a new standard in sustainable development for oil and gas.

because of Bay du Nord. Newfoundland and Labrador will receive an estimated $11 billion in taxes and another $12.8 billion in revenue from royalty payments.

This generational project will set the standard for future energy projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, in Canada, and the world. In doing so, it will create thousands of jobs, including in the construction industry. Equinor plans further exploration this year in the Flemish Pass Basin with the West Hercules vessel and that exploration should finish before the end of this year, depending on progress made. Equinor Canada CEO, Torstein Hole, said at the Energy NL Annual

Conference & Exhibition 2022 at the end of May that project sanction is likely two years away, but said he feels chances are very good it will be approved. First oil is anticipated in 2028 and a lot of Energy NL and NLCA members will be busy working on this project as it progresses.

MORE TO COME

While being the standard for future projects and a substantial part of our energy future, Bay du Nord is just the beginning of our new energy mix. Exploration for new, low carbon fields continues and renewable energy projects are in the offing.

There is great excitement that the operator of our first (Hibernia) and most recent (Hebron) project — ExxonMobil Canada — plans to explore in the Flemish Pass Basin via two wells. Aside from the typical interest that accompanies an offshore exploration campaign, there is heightened attention in this program as Qatar Energy recently purchased a 40 per cent interest in the licence block associated with the campaign. This will be the first time Qatar Energy has been involved offshore Newfoundland and Labrador and given a long association with Qatar that our province has had through the College of the North Atlantic, we welcome them to our industry and look forward to their increasing engagement.

BP Canada holds a significant prospect in our offshore, one that for years has been known as Cape Freels — the closest land point to the prospect — but more commonly referred to as Ephesus by bp Canada. The company is planning to explore next year, and ROV surveys for corals and sponges in their potential exploration area were conducted earlier this year. As well, in the spring, bp acquired a 35 per cent interest in the Bay du

This generational project will set the standard for future energy projects in Newfoundland and Labrador, in Canada, and the world.

In 2021, Suncor and the Terra Nova finalized an agreement to move forward with the Asset Life Extension Project which is expected to extend production life by approximately 10 years.

monetarily in the history of Newfoundland and Labrador’s offshore. It is also important to note that both the bp and BHP exploration programs would occur in the Orphan Basin where there currently are no producing projects, thus opening a new basin for the industry.

As the Bay du Nord story has much of it yet to be told, so too is the story of the West White Rose project. While 65 per cent of the concrete gravity structure offshore wellhead has been completed, work was largely suspended during COVID-19 and the crash of energy markets.

During construction 1,400 skilled tradespeople were working on the project at peak construction undertaken in Argentia. A decision to restart the project was announced May 31, and we look forward to the return of upwards of 1,700 workers to complete the project. There would also be roughly 1,500 jobs for the supply and service sector related to the project and $11 billion in future capital and operating expenditures.

Similarly, the industry received good news when the Asset Life Extension (ALE)

Nord project. When you combine this activity with the company opening an office in St. John’s — it makes Energy NL members feel optimistic about what is yet to come for this prospect.

The West White Rose project is expected to fully restart in 2023. First oil from the platform is anticipated in the first half of 2026.

beside the additional 10 years of production and 70 million barrels it will produce, Energy NL had an economist review the economic impacts of the ALE. The study estimated that the capital investment phase would support almost 1,800 jobs, while annual operations would support more than 1,200 and revenue from annual royalties and corporate tax to the province would support an additional 2,100 jobs.

OPPORTUNITIES IN RENEWABLE ENERGY & CLEAN TECHNOLOGY

Early in 2022, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador lifted a moratorium on wind projects and the industry reacted quickly. World Energy GH2 INC. submitted a project for provincial environmental assessment which would be Canada’s first commercial green hydrogen/ammonia production facility, created from 1 GW of renewable energy. The electricity generated from the wind farm will be used to produce hydrogen and ammonia at a 0.5 GW hydrogen facility to be built and operated on a brownfield site at the Port of Ste-

phenville with other sites throughout the area including the Port au Port Peninsula.

The project could result in both 1,200 direct jobs (1,100 during construction and 100 during operation and maintenance) and 1,300 indirect jobs through the construction and operation of a windfarm with up to 164 turbines, as well as supporting infrastructure, including access roads, transmission lines, and pads and foundations for the turbines. It is also anticipated that temporary workforce accommodations will be developed to house construction workers in or near Stephenville.

Further, the Port of Argentia and Pattern Energy — one of the largest producers of wind energy in Canada which operates a project fleet of over six gigawatts of renewable energy globally — have signed an Option to Lease agreement to advance the development of a substantial multi-phase renewable energy project, including a wind energy project and green hydrogen and derivative renewable fuels production and export facility.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is an energy product in demand — particularly by

European countries like Germany — and LNG NL has an offshore FLNG and pipeline project in the offing. The proponents are proposing exporting natural gas from the Jeanne d’Arc Basin to a floating liquid natural gas facility located at the Port of Grassy Point via a 600 km underwater pipeline. A lot of preliminary work has been undertaken and the project has also been submitted for provincial environmental assessment. Capital costs have been estimated to be approximately $10 billion, with between 1,300 and 1,500 direct construction jobs at peak, with potentially 400 permanent jobs for the facility.

“The outlook for the Newfoundland and Labrador energy industry is bright and I look forward to Energy NL members and Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association members playing a leading role in the development of these projects. Our sector is evolving, and our opportunities are growing along with it. I look forward to working together to seize those opportunities for our collective success,” said Energy NL CEO Charlene Johnson.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador lifted a moratorium on wind projects in 2022. World Energy GH2’s proposed project would see 164 turbines built on the Port au Port Peninsula.

IMPROVING ACCESS

BY CHERYL MAH

According to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, one in five Canadians report high levels of mental distress with the pandemic exacerbating the crisis. The demand for treatment of anxiety and depression has increased significantly in the last two years and it is a serious wake up call for governments to step up mental health services and support.

For residents in the Labrador region, a new mental health unit at the Labrador Health Centre in Happy Valley-Goose Bay will mean significant improvement to acute care inpatient mental health and addictions services.

The construction of the long awaited mental health unit delivers on the government’s commitment in the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan for Newfoundland and Labrador to transform the provincial mental health and addictions system to one that is person-centre, accessible and recovery focused.

With Newfoundland and Labrador’s suicide rate higher than the national average, improving access to mental health services with projects like this is critical.

Designed by Fougere Menchenton Architecture, the single storey structure features private bedrooms for patients receiving professional mental health care and includes a dining space, lounge space, and recreation space. The extension will also include a group therapy room, which can also be used for Indigenous ceremonies.

Mental health and addictions patients will be able to access a range of services, including walk-in appointments and one-onone counselling sessions.

The impacts of the pandemic and lockdowns have pushed public mental health to the forefront of conversations and the need for access to services has never been more important.

Moss Development Corp. was awarded the $5.1 million contract in 2020. The company broke ground on the 6,500 square foot facility last summer and completed the project on time and on budget. Crew peaked at 25-30.

“This was a technically built project — a lot of time and effort went into it,” says Dylan Moss, owner of Moss Development.

Built during COVID, teamwork and collaboration were critical for project success. A main challenge was securing building materials. With disrupted global supply chains and increased demand, delays and supply shortages are impacting the industry across all sectors.

“COVID has made logistics and the supply chain tough. It was hard to get lumber, windows, doors — resulting in long delivery times,” says Moss. “But we worked with a very good supplier in Goose Bay for the bulk of the project and we made it work.”

Another challenge was working adjacent to the hospital which remained fully operational during the construction period. Careful planning and good communication was important to minimize noise, vibrations as

well as disruption to patients. Of course, tying the tower into the existing hospital added another level of complexity to the job.

“It was a big team effort and lots of coordination. The onsite staff was very accommodating so it went well,” says Moss.

The facility is the first mental health unit for Moss Development, who specializes in larger commercial projects throughout Labrador. This project will enhance the

quality of life and provide convenience for local patients and families by reducing the need to travel outside of Labrador to receive mental health care.

“It’s one of the most important projects that we’ve done. It’s a much needed facility that will benefit communities throughout Labrador,” says Moss, who is also working on the Labrador Correctional Centre expansion.

MINING OPPORTUNITIES

Guy J. Bailey in Baie Verte has been successfully supporting the local region for decades

BY CHERYL MAH

For more than five decades Guy J. Bailey Ltd. in Newfoundland and Labrador has been providing important transportation and heavy civil services to Baie Verte.

Today, Scott Bailey, president and CEO, continues to grow the family business started by his father in 1968.

“My dad moved here in ’63 and looked at different opportunities where he could provide services. He started in transportation with a bus and taxi service and then also got into vehicle service and auto parts business,” recalls Bailey, who took over the family business in 1987 with his two brothers Ivan and Kent.

The company now employs 135 full time workers with seasonal crews peaking up to 160. The majority of work is focused on providing site services and heavy civil for two major mines and exporting aggregate stone. The company also undertakes general contracting and services such as landscaping and all the snow clearing on the peninsula.

Despite the cyclical nature of the mining industry over the years, Bailey has remained a strong supporter of his hometown and beaten the odds.

“We’ve had to survive many tough times but we persevered through hard work and loyal workers and suppliers. We’re the longest surviving business in Baie Verte,” he says. “We’re proud to have supported the mines and provided employment for the local workforce.”

Growing up, Bailey and his brothers worked in the family business helping out where needed — in the shop, gas station or towing cars. All three of them went on to become Red Seal heavy equipment technicians.

“When we took over from our father, there was not a whole lot of work — mainly seasonal with trucks and loaders moving material in the summer and clearing snow in the winter. And we had the heavy equipment garage,” says Bailey, noting his two brothers left the company for a period of time before returning. “We were working 16-20 hours a day. It was challenging — always a struggle.”

The mining industry, however, was experiencing an upswing in the early 2000s

and when Bailey received a call about supplying labour and transportation for the new Duck Pond Mine in Millertown, it was the opportunity he needed to move the company forward.

The initial four week job turned into a full year, says Bailey.

In 2006, Crew Gold purchased the Nugget Pond facility to process ore produced from its gold mine in Greenland. Again, they called on Bailey for labour to commission the mill and transportation to offload the ships.

The Pine Cove gold mine, owned and operated by Anaconda Mining (now Signal Gold) was Guy Bailey’s first significant contract.

Securing work with Anaconda Mining (now known as Signal Gold) for the gold ore digging and hauling operations at their Baie Verte Pine Cove Mine in 2010 was the company’s biggest windfall.

“They needed us to supply labour to build and commission their mill, trucks, all the onsite work and more,” says Bailey. “I think it’s all about timing. It was only supposed to be three years and it’s almost 15 years there now. They’ve exhausted the main ore pit and

they have a new property there which they are going to start commissioning soon.”

Since then, Guy J. Bailey has grown and is enjoying steady work with the two major mining companies Anaconda and Rambler Mines (who purchased Nugget Pond in 2009). Its fleet of equipment has grown from $1 million to more than $20 million today.

In 2016, Bailey expanded operations with the creation of Shoreline Aggregates to capitalize on a unique opportunity with

Anaconda through an aggregates royalty agreement.

“For every tonne of ore, there is five tonnes of waste rock,” explains Bailey. “During 10 years of operation, their mine has probably generated 6-8 million tonnes of waste rock that is just stockpiled around the site. We thought there should be a way to repurpose this rock.”

Everything fell into place when a project in South Carolina was looking for infill rock material for a new container port. After a $10 million capital and operational investment to establish the necessary infrastructure, equipment and facility at Port Rousse, Shoreline shipped 3 million tonnes of base rock aggregate to Charleston in its first year of operation.

Shoreline followed that success by securing contracts in Florida, Texas and Georgia. “There is a huge demand for aggregate but the biggest challenge is finding enough labour and retaining them. We like to stay local but will have to look at foreign labour to fill the voids. The pandemic has also been tough,” notes Bailey.

The labour shortage and ongoing global supply chain disruption due to the pandemic is not expected to ease any time soon. Acquiring materials have changed from weeks to months. Along with fuel costs doubling, Bailey says key parts and equipment are hard to come by.

“Even if you’re willing to pay more for it, the suppliers still can’t get it. I’ve never seen it like this,” says Bailey, who wants to buy more pickup trucks and other equipment. “Normally you bid work first and then get the equipment. Now you have to buy equipment even before a job is confirmed or they are not available.”

Once an order is placed, delivery of equipment or parts is also a problem. Bailey says the company is still waiting for jaw plates for their crushing machines (lost in Halifax) and without them, they risk shutting down the machines.

Last year, one worker tested positive for COVID which jeopardized a crew of 42 workers on a ship loading job because of close contact health protocols.

“It was extremely stressful. We had to load a ship to go to Texas on time and we could not afford a shutdown,” he says, explaining through various efforts and solutions, the company was able to keep the majority of the crew working to complete the job. “We have been fortunate and were able to keep working despite all the challenges.”

Sustaining a family business into a second generation is not an easy endeavour, but by building on their father’s strong foundation and with an entrepreneurial vision, the siblings have proven it can be done.

Bailey says the employees are the heart of the company’s success. The company fosters a family-friendly workplace culture, paying

good wages and extended benefits. Next year will mark the company’s 55th anniversary — a significant milestone in a business that is full of risks and uncertainty.

“There are not a lot of companies that can do what we do. We have many long term employees that have worked for us for 15-20 years along with a young workforce. I have a good management team here and we’re well respected,” says Bailey, who earned the Miner of the Year award in 2017.

The outlook is positive for the region with more work expected as mining exploration continues.

“My plan was to retire at 59. But I’m not going anywhere any time soon,” says Bailey, 57. “My youngest son works here as the trucking superintendent. Ivan’s two boys work in the company as well. So we’ll see what happens for the next generation.”

A NATURAL LEADER

Ill. Sir Roger Tinkham retiring

BY JEAN SORENSEN

Illustrious Sir Roger Tinkham, PP, well-known to the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association (NLCA), is retiring at the end of December from the board of the Shriners Hospital for Children located in Montreal. He has served three terms starting in 2012 and also served an extra year replacing a local member who stepped down, marking in total 10 years of service to the board.

The board work — and the work the Shriners do in North America — has brought its own rewards.

“It is the satisfaction of seeing the children and the parents when they come to the Shriners hospitals for a second opinion after they have been told that nothing more can be done for their child by others,” says Tinkham. The child is sent to one of the 22 hospitals the Shriners operate in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico that house an array of leading specialists able to treat children with severe burns, disease, or genetic defects. The specialists are able to find a way to help the child. “Three or four years later you see the same child and the child is walking across the stage — because that child now can walk. That is so rewarding.”

Tinkham, who will move into emeritus status with the board, says that the work carried out by the Shriners would not be possible without the strong support of community and business organizations such as the NLCA.

As a long time member of the Mazol Shrine in Newfoundland, Tinkham remembers the first time he became involved with the NLCA over a decade ago. He was asked to help out at the construction association’s annual banquet and auction event. The banquet and auction raised thousands of dollars which the NLCA turned over to the Mazol Shrine, where Tinkham was a member.

Since that night, Tinkham has become the point person for the NLCA. “It is amazing what these people do,” he says of the association, adding many have become friends.

Over the years, the banquet and auction has raised more than $400,000 towards the Mazol Shrine travel fund allowing individuals in the area to travel to different hospitals and also to receive free treatment at the hospital.

“The parents or guardian never get a bill,” he says as other organizations such as the Air Canada Foundation and WestJet also pitch in to fly children to the best specialists. He

As a long time member of the Mazol Shrine in Newfoundland, Roger Tinkham has worked tirelessly on fundraising campaigns so families can travel free to hospitals for necessary treatments.

recalls one child that was badly burned and rushed immediately from Newfoundland to the Shriners hospital in Boston, which specializes in burn victims. A medi-vac unit was scrambled to be with the patient and a private jet and pilot used to fly the victim there. Over five to seven years, the patient made repeat visits to the hospital for treatment. “The cost must have run into the millions — it was all paid for by the Shriners,” he says.

As well as serving on the Montreal hospital’s board, Tinkham was a major supporter of the Shriners’ fund-raising campaign to build a new $130 million Montreal hospital attached to the McGill University Health

Centre complex. It opened in 2016 and has a staff of 400 today, greatly increasing the capacity of the old facility which operated with a staff of 50.

“As the board’s marketing manager, it was my role to organize a cross-country tour to raise money for the new hospital,” recalls Emmanuelle Rondeau, director of business development for Shriners Hospital for Children — Canada. “Roger was the first to jump in and offer to help.”

In the Atlantic region, Tinkham became “the first boots on the ground,” she says. He was instrumental in organizing fundraising and awareness events and ensuring that all preparation work was in place as the van

carrying the cross-Canada team dipped its wheels in the Atlantic. (After the Atlantic region, the team headed west towards the Pacific Ocean.)

“He did that with all his heart and a passion; he has a way of making things happen that is very much contagious,” she says. The campaign was a tremendous success in the Atlantic region. “He set the bar for all across the country for the fund drive.”

More recently, Tinkham has taken a lead in the implementation of a new diagnostic and treatment medi-help tool in the Atlantic region that would allow children treated at the Montreal hospital to be monitored while in their home area. Tinkham says the system

The system would save parents and guardians travel time and also allow the Shriners facility to reach out to more children, he says.

Tinkham, a retired RCMP officer, joined the Shriners in 1997 when invited by fellow police officer Ill. Sir William Smith, who was potentate at the Mazol Shrine at the time. “He was my mentor,” says Tinkham, who would later go on to serve two terms as potentate.

Smith, now retired, is not surprised Tinkham has taken a leadership role within the Shriners

At CIMCO we know that when it comes to fighting climate change, it can’t be done alone.

Governments across the globe have set ambitious goals to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. To meet new regulations, synthetic refrigerants will ultimately be phased out. This will shift the industry to using natural alternatives like CO2 and Ammonia with negligible Global Warming Potential and Ozone Depletion Potential.

As leaders in sustainable refrigeration, CIMCO can help you navigate this important transition. From our signature green technology that’s cost-effective and built-to-last, to our innovative range of customizable and energy-efficient options, we have the tools and expertise you need to reach net-zero emissions.

did, but because the organization did it in a way that networked with the community. The Shriners are known for their special events and parades. Tinkham drives some of the Shriners small cars or motorcycles in Shriners parades as a member of the Mazol Shriners Keystone Kops Unit. He plans to continue “flipping hamburgers and hot-dogs” at community events for the Mazol Shrine and raising funds locally.

Rondeau says that perhaps one of the greatest accomplishments of Tinkham —

and others that are appointed to the national board — is the appointment.

“Being appointed is an achievement itself,” she says as there is a multi-level nomination procedure and a stringent screening process to ensure the national body is gaining board members that can portray the integrity and reputation of one of Canada’s finest hospitals and the community objectives of the Shriners.

Tinkham has been a respected and admired board member over the years, lending an inquiring mind to issues, says

Rondeau. “He can be extremely focused and analytical,” adding those attributes have been especially advantageous when the board has been faced with challenges. He not only asks probing questions, but he is an acute listener.

“Sometimes he is listening, sometimes giving advice, but he is always very careful in what he does,” says Rondeau, adding she can’t see Tinkham retiring. “There is always got something going on with Roger, he is always busy with family, Shriners or the hospital. I don’t think he is ever going to stop.”

WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION

BY CHERYL MAH

Incentives for women to enter the construction industry could not be better than it is today. With the demand for skilled labour at an all-time high, there is a critical need for the industry to move forward in meaningful ways to increase the number of women, and other underrepresented groups.

Construction is one of the most male-dominated industries and although women are still underrepresented, they are making significant progress as leaders in the industry.

Construction Journal spoke to four successful women in construction — leaders who are paving the way for future generations of women in the building industry. The women, ranging from president to project manager, offer insight and advice for those who are interested in a career in construction. Here’s what they had to say:

GERTRUDE BRADBURY, PRESDIENT, LOCKE’S ELECTRICAL LIMITED

How did you become interested in construction as a career?

In my teenage years, the family construction business in which my parents worked was the family rite of passage for myself and other family members. Summer vacations meant working in the business and doing various tasks while the rest of my friends had the summer off. But funny enough that is right where I wanted to be.

My education path took me into teaching math and science in England and Newfoundland, something I never regret. But even while teaching, I returned in the summer to work at Locke’s. The company had an emotional pull and provided a relationship

return as I got to work with my parents, my sister and other family members. My drive and academic and professional achievements are largely thanks to my parents and the business. I returned to Locke’s to work full time in 1987. I have worked in many different roles in the family business and am currently the president of Locke’s Electrical Limited. The company will celebrate 75 years in business in 2023 which signifies the journey of a family with deep ties to each other, the industry and our clients.

What do you enjoy about your job?

There are so many things that make this job the best. Construction is a team effort, and working with incredible people with many talents and skills is unique. It allows you to learn from each other while being challenged in an ever-changing industry with different projects and clients. I love breaking barriers and overcoming stereotypes in the industry.

What challenges have you faced as a woman and how did you overcome them?

The construction industry is dominated by one gender, and I was often the only woman in the room. That led me to develop a terrible case of imposter syndrome; I constantly felt that someone would tap me on the shoulder and tell me I did not belong. Once I realized that the construction industry was less focused on gender and more on competence, I began to let my knowledge and experience give me confidence that I was indeed in the right place and could be successful.

My parents emphasized that to achieve independence and success, both men and women needed an education. Education and continued learning for women is key, and it is the most effective way to achieve professional mobility.

Respect is earned, especially in this industry, and the more credible you are, the better.

What can the industry do to help attract and retain women and be more inclusive?

Women don’t need special treatment, just a level playing field. Promoting equality and diversity is smart business. Recruiting and employing more women brings new ideas and innovation to the industry. To attract and retain women, the industry needs to develop training opportunities and programs and also support or develop local mentorship groups which encourage women in this industry to become active role models and mentors for other women.

What is your best advice for a woman starting in construction?

Become familiar with the resources available for women in business and construction. Women’s organizations and construction forums/conferences provide important networking opportunities. This networking will allow you to seek out role models and mentors.

But never underestimate the significance and importance of your role; each of us has the power to make a difference. “We’re Better Together.”

How did you become interested in construction as a career?

Construction wasn’t my first thought for my career. Initially I thought that I might want to go into medicine and become a pediatrician. After a semester at university and a biology course, I quickly discovered that this probably wasn’t the right approach for me. After talking to multiple people, I decided to focus on math/ sciences and go into engineering. While working on my engineering degree I had multiple work terms and still hadn’t found my passion. Heading into my last work term I had my application filled out to apply for entrance into the education faculty. I started my last work term with a local private construction company and I very quickly discovered that construction was that passion that I was

looking for. The pace, constant challenges and the overall field was what I was looking for. I never looked back and was fortunate to be offered a job with the local contractor and my career in construction went from there.

What do you enjoy about your job?

The People! Construction is a team effort and it is rewarding to work daily with a great team, who are all working together to bring the client a project that is on time and on budget. I love the variety — in construction every day is different. Even when the projects are the same or similar in nature, each one presents its own set of challenges. Whether it is manpower issues, existing conditions, coordination issues, or more recently delivery chain issues, each day gives you a challenge to

VALERIE PENNY, PROJECT MANAGER, RCS CONSTRUCTION

work through. While sometimes this can be a little stressful, when you have a great team it is very rewarding to work together to come up with the best solution for all involved.

What challenges have you faced as a woman and how did you overcome them?

I have honestly been very fortunate in my career and have ran into very few challenges as a woman in the office and on the jobsite. I have had the most amazing mentors who did nothing but support me and give me the confidence to push through the barriers that were presented at times.

There have been a few people throughout my career who have had the opinion that women should not be in the construction industry — that didn’t deter me though; it actually motivated me to prove that I was very capable and deserved to be there. I had one guy who questioned who I was to others on a jobsite — they told him that I was a junior project manager and that I would be his boss one day (in a joking way). He quickly responded that there wasn’t a chance he would ever work

for a woman (it wasn’t quite as friendly as that) — I wish I had paid more attention to who he was so I could have looked for him on my future travels.

As a young female starting out in the construction industry and being very career driven, there were decisions that I had to make regarding starting a family. I opted to only take a couple months of maternity leave on my first son so I wouldn’t miss out on a full year of career development. While it wasn’t a requirement, and not specific to construction, it is definitely a challenge that many women face.

What can the industry do to help attract and retain women and be more inclusive?

I feel that in order to attract women to the construction industry we need to start with education. We need to have a stronger presence in the high schools, outlining all the paths that are available in the construction industry. When people think of a career in the construction industry they typically think of the workers on the ground, whether that is

the heavy equipment operators, electricians, carpenters, laborer’s, etc. There are so many other paths that you can take to end up with a career in construction. Women should be considering all these options based on their passion.

For the women who take the construction path, I think the industry needs stronger mentor programs. It can be overwhelming at times, being the only women in a room, having someone by your side supporting you is huge — whether that be male or female. As long as it is someone who believes you belong, it is crucial in building that confidence to feel you belong.

What is your best advice for a woman starting in construction?

Be confident, but also don’t be afraid to ask for help/ direction when you are unsure. Find a mentor — whether that is someone within your company or someone on the outside. Find someone who will support you, someone you are comfortable with. There are amazing people in the industry at all levels, pay attention and you will find them!

CANDACE DOMINIX, COORDINATOR, DEFENCE CONSTRUCTION CANADA

How did you become interested in construction as a career?

I didn’t start out with an interest in construction. I started with an interest in design/drafting. Once I had my first job, which was in the construction industry with a design/ build general contracting company, I realized I had an interest in the whole industry.

What do you enjoy about your job?

This industry is ever changing. It’s interesting, challenging, fast paced and has unlimited options and areas for growth and personal development.

What challenges have you faced as a woman and how did you overcome them?

The biggest challenge of course for women is the fact that you are working in a male dominated industry. If you see a women working in a male dominated industry chances are she really wants to be there, and is prepared to work hard. We sign up knowing we have challenges ahead. We face discrimination, sexism, harassment, lack of equality and respect. We have limited support with few to no women around us and are always juggling that work-life balance.

I have experienced it, just like most have. I was fortunate enough to have a boss who supported and encouraged me. I worked hard, proved to myself that I could do my job and do it well — once I gained confidence in myself it helped with how I interacted with others.

What can the industry do to help attract and retain women and be more inclusive?

Change is happening, we are seeing it; we just need to keep stoking the embers. We need more mentoring, supports and training. We need early education of the programs available and to highlight the training and opportunities available. Largely, continue to push the change in perception and advocate for each other. This is the foundation behind the NLCA’s Women in Construction Committee. We see the need and what has to happen. We are hoping to bridge a gap.

What is your best advice for a woman starting in construction?

Understand your strengths and your weaknesses. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and learn from the people that have been doing these jobs before us. Find a mentor who understands and supports you. Work hard, find yourself and where you belong and you will gain the confidence you need to stand tall, trust in yourself and your abilities.

& PALMER

How did you become interested in construction law?

I was born into the world of construction — my father was a general contractor, and we discussed the challenges and rewards of working in the construction industry most nights at dinner. I also worked in his office when I was in junior high and high school, so I was exposed to many aspects of the business including the high stress environment.

When I graduated from law school, I was naturally drawn to an area of business that I knew and that I understood. I was lucky enough to work with an excellent construction lawyer who was able to teach me about construction law, and the need for well written contracts. I liked his approach to construction law and the ability to work with him was a definite factor in staying with this area of practice.

What do you enjoy about your job?

Dealing with people in the construction industry. And feeling a connection with what drives each party involved in the process, whether that is an owner, contractor, engineer, designer or subcontractor. I have had the privilege of working on significant projects in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, from hydroelectric projects to hospitals; and equally

rewarding smaller projects. I really enjoy getting to know a client, understanding what is important to them, appreciating their risk profile and earning their trust. I have the most fun when I am involved in the early stages of a project, drafting contracts and then dealing with construction issues as they arise. Being part of a larger team is something I have always enjoyed in my practice but also being part of the client team.

What challenges have you faced as a woman and how did you overcome them?

When I first started working as a lawyer in this industry more than 20 years ago, I was frequently the only woman in a room of men. The decision makers were male, the engineers were mostly male and the project managers and job coordinators were male. There has been a significant change over the years — admittedly decision makers are mostly still men but I work with many female engineers, project managers, safety personnel, superintendents and coordinators.

I recently had a tour of the new Earth Sciences Building at Memorial University and I was pleased to see that the project manager, the project engineer and the mechanicalelectrical manager were all women. That would definitely not have been the case when I first started practicing. I have had challenges — it might have taken people longer to take me seriously because of my youth or gender but I ignored most of it and marched on — and when I could not ignore, I dealt with it head on. I proved myself by working hard, learning as much as I could, asking questions and staying involved with industry groups.

I also had the support of my clients and my colleagues, which is invaluable. Finally, I had the support of my family who never treated me differently because I was a girl!

As a traditional man of a certain generation, my father always encouraged me to be strong and to be heard, regardless of the situation or industry in which I found myself.

What can the industry do to help attract and retain women and be more inclusive?

For most of us, it starts with examining our own unconscious bias about the role of women at work and the roles that we consider are “appropriate” for women, especially in the construction industry. We all have bias — recognizing the bias is the first step toward creating an equitable, diverse and inclusive environment and society. There are so many aspects of the construction industry and there is a place for anyone who wants to be involved. The increased willingness for employers to look beyond gender, perhaps out of necessity given the surging demand for workers in the industry but also through growth of society overall, can result in significant opportunities for women. People stay in industries and in jobs because they feel valued, respected and are treated and paid fairly for the work they do. Giving people opportunities, including women, to feel that way is the key to both attract and retain women in the construction industry.

What is your best advice for a woman starting in construction?

Women that are currently working in the industry can be great resources of advice and support and can be both mentors and sponsors. Find women that you admire and ask them how they did it — how they still do it — and build your network and help those you work with. In my career, I have had more male mentors than women and many of them helped me, taught me and recommended me to clients. Building healthy and respectful relationships with people of both genders is essential to success in any field.

Work hard, take pride in what you do and remember that you add value. That is the advice I would give to everyone, regardless of gender. Learn the industry, understand what opportunities are out there and build your network.

CONSTRUCTION SECTOR TO GROW THROUGH 2023

Recruitment challenges remain

BY BILL FERREIRA

Construction is surging across Canada.

As work continues on publicsector stimulus projects and housing starts remain at or near all-time highs, and as private-sector investment returns, the industry is seeing record highs in total employment (1.58 million) and record lows in unemployment (4.9 per cent).

Newfoundland and Labrador’s construction sector is experiencing many of the same tightening labour-force trends seen elsewhere in the country, and should continue to do so in the near term.

June marked a strong month for construction activity in the province. Data from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey

showed the industry added about 1,600 jobs (+9.0 per cent). And although employment at the end of the first half of 2022 remains about 5,200 jobs (-5.7 per cent) below pre-pandemic levels, increases in hours worked and a decreasing provincial industry unemployment rate suggest a rebound lies ahead.

BuildForce Canada released its 2022–2027 Construction and Maintenance Looking Forward report for Newfoundland and Labrador in March. The report, which focuses on a six-year horizon as opposed to the 10 years studied in previous reports, projects that the province’s construction and maintenance industry will reach an employment peak in 2023 before contracting by 16 per cent, or nearly 2,300 workers, by 2027.

RESIDENTIAL, NON-RESIDENTIAL MARKETS DIVERGE

Construction activity in Newfoundland and Labrador’s residential sector has benefitted from a recent, pandemic-induced surge in singlefamily home starts, and should sustain strong numbers through the initial years of the forecast period. By the end of the forecast period in 2027, however, residential-sector employment is forecast to decline by 237 workers (-5.1 per cent) compared to 2021 levels.

The outlook for the province’s nonresidential sector is less certain. Employment in the sector reached a peak in 2016 driven by an investment surge in energy and mining related projects. Since then, with many of those major projects now completed or

winding down, employment in the sector has been readjusting to pre-surge levels. Despite a number of large industrial projects currently under consideration, unless these projects are approved for construction, further declines in sector employment are expected throughout much of the forecast period.

Engineering-sector investment levels are expected to remain largely unchanged until 2023, when core construction is expected to resume on the West White Rose offshore development project. That investment should be sustained into 2024 before falling in 2025 as the project ends, and the first oil from the platform is produced in 2026.

Investment in roads, highways, and bridges, meanwhile, benefitted from a front-end loaded, five-year provincial transportation infrastructure plan that began in 2021. Spending in that sector is expected to start winding down in 2022 as work on the Trans-Labrador Highway project reaches its latter stages.

Finally, investment in industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) building construction should remain elevated in 2022, driven by institutional investment, health care, and education-sector projects. As these projects wind down by 2024, overall ICI investment levels are expected to decline.

Based on currently known and approved projects, overall employment in the sector is expected to decline by some 2,060 workers.

AN AGING DEMOGRAPHIC CREATES WORKFORCE CHALLENGES

It is no secret that Newfoundland and Labrador has a larger cohort of people aged 50 and above than the national average. According to the latest Census data, 23.6 per cent of the province’s population is over the age of 65 and a further 24.1 per cent are between the ages of 50 and 64. With only 13.4 per cent of the province’s population 14 years of age or younger, it’s clear that the province

will be facing significant pressures over the next 15 years to find the workers required to replace those expected to retire. The construction industry is not immune to these demographic pressures. Indeed, in many of the province’s trades, the labour force demographics are even slightly more bleak than the provincial census numbers might otherwise indicate.

The BuildForce Canada forecast suggests that the industry will lose as many as 3,380 workers (-17 per cent of its 2021 labour force) to retirement by 2027. Although that figure exceeds the expected contraction of the industry’s labour force over the same period (-2,300 workers), and suggests that the labour force contraction will occur through attrition, it could present training and employment challenges as younger workers may perceive future employment opportunities in the trades to be limited and may seek work elsewhere.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s construction sector is expected to recruit just 1,814 new-entrant workers under the age of 30 from the local population over the forecast period (2022 to 2027). Further evidence of possible future recruitment challenges can be found in the most recent provincial apprenticeship data. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, new registrations in the province’s 13 largest construction trade programs had been falling at an average rate of 14 per cent per year since 2016. By 2019, the number of certified workers completing their program was less than half of those reported in 2015.

The pool of newly certified workers was further diminished in 2020 due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The latest Registered Apprentice Information Systems data suggests that new registrations declined by nearly 50 per cent in 2020, as

apprenticeship training and certification was largely placed on hold.

Based on projected new registrations and completion trends, several trades could be at risk of undersupplying the number of new journeypersons required by 2027. They include heavy equipment operator, industrial mechanic (millwright), mobile crane operator, plumber, and welder.

DIVERSIFICATION CREATES OPPORTUNITIES

There are opportunities for Newfoundland and Labrador’s construction sector to restore and diversify its workforce to include greater numbers of women, Indigenous people and newcomers to Canada.

In 2021, there were approximately 1,500 women employed in Newfoundland and Labrador’s construction industry. Of them, 54 per cent worked on site, meaning that women made up less than 6 per cent of the total number of tradespeople employed in the province.

The Indigenous population is another underrepresented group that presents recruitment opportunities. In 2021, approximately 63,700 Indigenous people were employed in Canada’s construction sector, or 9 per cent of all Indigenous people in the workforce. As the Indigenous population is the fastest growing in Canada and Indigenous workers seem predisposed to pursue careers within the sector, there may be scope to further increase the recruitment of Indigenous people into the province’s construction industry.

Finally, Newfoundland and Labrador is expected to welcome an average of approximately 2,745 newcomers to Canada every year, making the immigrant population a key source of labour-force growth. As of 2016, newcomers to Canada and established immigrants made up about 1 per cent of the province’s construction workforce.

Increasing the participation rate of any of these groups would go a long way to help Newfoundland and Labrador’s construction industry address its future labour force needs, and create a more diverse and inclusive labour force.

Demand for construction services, in Newfoundland and Labrador, and across Canada, will continue to grow through 2022 and into 2023. While growth in the province is expected to be less robust than elsewhere across Canada and in the region, a number of large projects currently under consideration could help moderate the expected declines in employment.

Despite lower overall employment demand, careful workforce management will be necessary through to 2027 to ensure the labour force remains adequate to the needs of the province and to avoid the emergence of skills shortages in the industry due to the loss of workers to other industries.

Bill Ferreira is executive director of BuildForce Canada, a national industry-led organization committed to working with the construction industry to provide information and resources to assist with its management of workforce requirements.

LABOUR MARKET CHALLENGES, CURRENT TRENDS

Many employers face hardships keeping a steady stream of employees, a phenomenon experienced nationwide, and notably evident in Newfoundland and Labrador. Labour Market Information (LMI) indicators suggest several factors contribute to this labour shortage trend, including demographics (rural and urban), an aging population, fewer family run businesses, an out migration of youth after study, and smaller family sizes.

According to a Public Policy Forum (PPF) project entitled Immigration & Atlantic Revitalization, by Dr. Tony Fang, Dr. Jane Zhu, Paula Struk Jaia a shrinking and aging population makes labour and skill shortages the most serious in NL compared to the other

Atlantic Provinces. “From 2014 to 2018 the labour force shrank by 14,835 or 4.4 per cent. Moreover, there will be nearly another 35,000 more people exiting the labour market by year 2028, which represents approximately 10 per cent of the total labour force.”

No industry sector is immune to this downward spiral labour trend, but some industries where the demand for skilled workers has reached or is approaching a critical peak. Employers in high-growth sectors requiring specific skills have been asking for a new immigration pathway because their attempts to recruit locally have not met the growing demand for skilled and experienced workers. In January 2021 the province (NL) answered that request by implementing a Priority Skills im-

migration pathway to attract highly educated, highly skilled newcomers with specialized experience to stay in Newfoundland and Labrador. Those in-demand specialties include Information and Communications Technology (ICT) — Engineers and Developers, Technical Specialists, Health Care, Aquaculture, and Agriculture. Employers in these sectors looking to fill positions are exempt from provincial labour market testing processes and will receive priority processing in the Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism (OIM).

Additional industry sectors we have assisted over the years include tourism and hospitality, automotive, health care, and various sub classification sectors within the construction industry. We have assisted construction ven-

dors with carpenters, labourer’s, millwright, welders, roofers and much more.

While big construction projects loom, smaller projects, industrial and new home construction is expected to peak in the province by the end of 2023 and then decline.

From BuildForce Canada, the “outlook for 2022 to 2024 has strengthened with the surge in housing starts expected to be sustained near recent highs” but an aging workforce presents a significant challenge for Newfoundland and Labrador’s construction industry. The province is expected to lose as many as 3,380 workers (or 17 per cent of its current labour force) to retirement between 2022 and 2027. Over the same period, it is expected to recruit just 1,800 new workers aged 30 or younger from the local population. The longer-term outlook for the province, however, remains constrained by older age demographics, slowing population growth, and the wind down of current major projects.”

PATHWAYS TO IMMIGRATION: NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR

While the process may be intricate our aim is to educate employers about provincial

and federal pathway options available to them. May it be the Atlantic Immigration Program, a Labour Market Impact Assessment, a Francophone Mobility Process, or the Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP), one common denominator remains the same — the requirement for skilled workers.

1/ The Question: Is your Business Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) designated? This program is a pathway to permanent residence for skilled foreign workers and international graduates from a Canadian institution who want to work and live in one of Canada’s four Atlantic provinces. This is an ideal program to enroll into for employers to hire qualified candidates for jobs they haven’t been able to fill locally.

2/ The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) Offers many categories beneficial to the construction industry labour market to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs and international graduates who have the skills, experience, and education to succeed in the Atlantic province.

3/ The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) It is a federal pathway, if possible, show that your business is in need of a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job.

4/ The Francophone Mobilité Program It is another federal pathway option that allow you to hire French-speaking or a bilingual candidate with varying advantages to your business separate from other pathways.

COLLECTIVE ADVOCACY

BY MARY VAN BUREN

Representing 20,000 plus member firms, the Canadian Construction Association (CCA) is proud of our mission to inspire a progressive, innovative, and sustainable construction industry.

The key to our success is working with valued partner associations like the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association. We are powered by your engagement. Together, we are driving change on key issues that make a real impact, not only for the industry but for all Canadians.

As the industry’s national advocate, CCA has been working to help shape a longterm plan for sustainable infrastructure

investment — one that is aligned with the current and future needs of provinces, municipalities, and Indigenous communities. One size does not fit all. More consultation and early engagement need to happen.

Canada’s proposed first-ever National Infrastructure Assessment is an important step to creating a longerterm vision for Canada’s infrastructure planning — one that is expected to include CCA’s recommendation to establish an independent advisory body that can provide balanced and expert-guided advice. Programs like the Investing in Canada Plan have fallen short of its targets because of the disconnection between federal

priorities and provincial needs. We need to move from quick fixes to a strategy that focuses on long-term solutions and value for Canadians in the regions they live.

IT’S TIME TO INVEST IN CANADA

In November, CCA will once again be on Parliament Hill advocating for long-term infrastructure investment; attracting and retaining the workforce we need now and in the future; and improving procurement and project delivery methods. Hill Day, taking place this year on November 15, is an opportunity for our industry to unite on these issues and collectively advance our message with key decision-makers.

Psychological hazards are in every workplace in Newfoundland and Labrador.

No workplace is immune to the negative effects of these hazards on a worker’s physical and mental health. Psychological hazards are found in the way work is organized and managed and the quality of relationships in the workplace.

The National Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace is a set of voluntary guidelines, tools and resources intended to guide organizations in promoting mental health and preventing psychological harm at work.

With economic resilience being a top priority for the industry, CCA is appealing for greater investment in Canada’s trade-enabling infrastructure like roads, ports, railways, and bridges. This also includes expanding our manufacturing capacity. Scaling up Canada’s trade, transportation and manufacturing infrastructure will build supply chain capacity, support green innovation and emerging technologies, create transformational jobs, and fuel our global competitiveness.

Our industry can be the path to green and the road to economic prosperity, but we need supportive policies and a national plan backed by a long-term investment strategy. More is needed if Canada wants to compete globally, expand into new and emerging markets, attract investors, and boost employment. We also need your voice in campaigning for change.

Doing so would go a long way in addressing both our immediate and future infrastructure needs — and developing the workforce we need. Skilled tradespeople cannot be created overnight. We need to build a pipeline of talent. More attention needs to be placed on

attracting youth, women, Indigenous peoples, immigrants, and foreign workers to address the shortage of skilled workers in construction.

CCA’s Talent Fits Here initiative is our industry’s united effort to build workforce capacity by shifting perceptions and showing the diversity of opportunities that exist in construction. We are also excited to be collaborating as an expert partner with the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum to promote the new Apprenticeship Service program. This program will provide financial support to employers across the country who hire new first-year apprentices in 39 Red Seal trades. These incentives will help small businesses hire more workers and give apprentices from under-represented groups more training and opportunity.

PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES

Federal procurement strategies also need to

adapt to encourage innovation, account for long-term value and sustainability, promote the use of alternative delivery models, and support shared risk.

Too often contractors are forced to manage unknown project costs and delays due to the shortage of workers, materials, and supply chain disruptions. CCA’s annual Meech Lake meeting with government leaders resulted in a commitment to establish a working group on procurement modernization where we intend to educate owners on these challenges.

STAY IN TOUCH

Canada will be counting on the construction industry to build back better. You can count on CCA to be a collaborative partner to the Newfoundland and Labrador Construction Association, providing helpful tools, sharing best practices across the country and being your voice with the federal government.

THE STATE OF INSURANCE

BY WOODY BROWN

Years of undisciplined hyper competitive underwriting caught up to the industry, culminating in an environment in 2018 where the Canadian insurance industry as a whole paid out $1.03 in claims and expenses for every dollar they had come in, an unsustainable business model with an unacceptable ROI.

Since early 2019, the insurance marketplace has been challenging. In an effort to return to profitability, insurers have pressed for increased rates, higher deductibles, restricted coverage, and performed much more stringent and conservative underwriting.

It took a few years, but the financial results have improved considerably, and mid way through 2022, we are seeing positive signs. We anticipate that contractors can expect steadier and more predictable renewal pricing on most lines of coverage — including property, liability, auto, umbrella.

PROJECT SPECIFIC INSURANCE COVERAGE

(including builders risk and wrap up liability) on most construction projects are showing signs of improved pricing and terms, as a result of an increase in capacity from the market, particularly when it comes to builders

risk placements. This is good news, since many insurers exited or severely limited their builders risk capacity from 2019-2020. Larger frame, unprotected construction sites still may not attract a lot of competition amongst underwriters, as consistent large fire claims pops have served as constant reminders of the severity of those claims.

THE DIRECTORS & OFFICERS LIABILITY

(D&O) insurance market continues to tighten as insurers are quoting steep rate increases, reduced capacity, and possible changes to deductibles and/or restrictions to coverage.

COVID-19 has brought challenges to both employees and employers managing a workforce, and the frequency of employment related lawsuits is on the rise, including a trend of allegations of inadequate severance, or discrimination against employees, citing COVID-19. Furthermore, workplace health and safety, and the duty of an employer to take proper steps to reduce health and safety risks for their workforce, is as important as ever, and the increased liability imposed upon directors and officers of construction companies is making this an increasingly popular coverage amongst risk conscious contractors.

CYBER RISKS

The spike in employees working from home revealed that cyber criminals (often part of sophisticated cyber cartels) are taking advantage of technological vulnerabilities. Claims frequency and severity have skyrocketed, and so insurance companies have sought large rate increases, restricted coverage, and are insisting on larger deductibles. In the past, large retail businesses that housed sensitive credit card data were the main target, but construction companies are now being severely targeted. Newer IT technologies being increasingly used in construction require data security and privacy risk assessments and proper controls in place, and construction businesses have not historically had cybersecurity as all that ‘top of mind’. Prominent names such as Bird, GFL and Bouygues have all suffered significant cyber attacks, as have hundreds of smaller contractors from coast to coast.

WATER DAMAGE MITIGATION & MANAGING DEDUCTIBLES

While we are seeing a trend towards more liberal terms on builders risk policies, the industry appears to be holding fast on their demand for increasingly large deductibles, particularly with respect to water damage. Deductibles of $5,000 and $10,000 have been replaced with $25,000, $50,000, and $250,000, depending on the size and scope of the project and the experience of the parties involved in the project. General contractors should have a robust water mitigation plan and should coordinate this plan with subtrades.

A good construction specialist broker may have samples of comprehensive water

mitigation plans, but as a summary for the reader’s benefit, they should include some of the following main highlights:

• The overall water damage response plan should be posted in key areas such as the water shutoff area and main construction office.

• The plan should include a list of 24 hour contact personnel — both of the GC and of the plumbers.

• The plan should clearly indicate that the main supply valve is to be shut in the event of an emergency, with designate.

• The location of key domestic water and fire protection shutoff valves should be indicated on the site drawings and referenced clearly on the posting. Include photos of the areas for ease of reference in an emergency.

• All subs on-site should be briefed on the location of water lines (to avoid damage when doing other work) and the location of the shutoff valves.

• Water shutoff valves should be duly tagged upon installation.

• As water systems are commissioned, an on-site guard should be considered. This guard should provide water watch duties as part of the after-hours rounds.

• Provide easily accessible water clean-up kits (including wet/dry vacuums, tarps, squeegees, and absorbent material).

HEAVY VEHICLE DRIVERS

With an alarming 20,000 truck driver positions currently unfilled in Canada, businesses that operate commercial vehicles have experienced difficulties hiring experienced heavy vehicle drivers, particularly those located in more rural locations. More than 60 per cent of companies looking to hire commercial vehicle operators report that they simply cannot find them.

In addition to the challenge of finding a quality heavy vehicle driver, the insurance market is not making things any easier, as insurers are extremely hesitant to insure drivers with less than three years of experience driving heavy vehicles (GVW over 4,500 Kgs.) and are often very demanding in terms of the form of evidence required to prove their experience.

Sadly, actuarial evidence backs their concerns, where inexperienced drivers are disproportionately responsible for costly accidents, such as the notorious Humboldt bus crash, where an inexperienced driver’s momentary lapse cost 13 young men their lives and led to a significant insurance claim that has still not been settled today.

This will continue to be a challenge, although experienced insurance brokers are often able to find ways to help a contractor with a sound documented fleet management plan get their drivers covered.

DRONES

Over the past 2-3 years, the use of drone technology within the construction sector has grown substantially. The use of drones throughout a construction project can cut planning and survey costs, increase efficiency and accuracy, eliminate disputes over the status of a project at a given point in time, and act as a good pictorial update for management and construction owners.

Since drones are considered ‘aircraft’ and subject to Canadian Aviation Regulations, liability emanating from their use (physical damage, bodily injury, or privacy claims and liabilities) is excluded in General Liability policies, so special ‘Unmanned Aircraft’ coverage is necessary.

If you are currently using drones on your job site, or plan to do so, you have risk to consider, and should be aware that the CCDC -2 (2020) and most recent CCDC — 41 updated insurance requirements require such special coverage, with a minimum liability limit of $5,000,000.

CONCLUSION

If the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that the world is anything but dependable. Unpredictable events, like pandemics and aggressive invasions, will continue to influence financial markets (including insurance), and so while we’re optimistic that the general insurance landscape has settled down some, events beyond our imagination can happen anytime.

As a result, the contractor’s best bet is choosing an insurance advisor that is aligned with them, and their industry, so regardless of which way the tide is moving, the contractor can depend on someone to help them navigate the seas.

PROMPT PAYMENT IN CANADA

BY GREG MOORES AND CONOR O’NEIL

Every contractor, subcontractor, and supplier has at least one common concern: they all want to be paid promptly for their work. But experience in this province suggests they don’t always get paid as promptly as they’d like.

To address this universal concern, provinces across Canada are taking steps to enshrine mandatory payment terms into law in what is called prompt payment legislation.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s Mechanics’ Lien Act does not currently have prompt payment provisions, but the winds of change are blowing and they’re bound to reach our shores.

This article will canvas recent reforms in other jurisdictions to illuminate the concepts and legislation that could be introduced in Newfoundland and Labrador.

THE ISSUE OF PAYMENT DELAYS IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR

Most contractual arrangements are direct lines between an owner, general contractor, subcontractors and suppliers. This means a dispute that stops payment at one point can disproportionately delay payment to others down the chain — like how a car accident snarls the traffic behind it. The effects of delayed payment are felt throughout an entire

project. As cash flow slows, so does the work. Sometimes it is halted altogether.

SO, WHAT CAN YOU CURRENTLY DO WHEN THE INVOICE YOU ISSUE GOES UNPAID?

You can litigate on the terms of your contract, but this is an expensive process that may not yield results until years down the line.

Alternatively, you can place a lien on the project. Liens were designed to swiftly spur payment of outstanding invoices, but most lawyers will tell you this is far from the truth. In practice, only a small fraction of lien claims are resolved without costly litigation. For this

reason, they are rarely considered and only as a last resort.

Enforcing payment can be expensive, timeconsuming, and frustrating. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be this way.

WHAT IS PROMPT PAYMENT LEGISLATION?

The traditional mechanisms to spur stalled payments are flawed in that they place the onus to act on the payee whose invoice has gone unpaid. Prompt payment legislation flips this assumption on its head by obliging the payor to respond to invoices within a specified timeframe. It accomplishes this through two interrelated components: 1/ Prompt payment provisions, which mandate a timely response to invoices; and 2/ Adjudication provisions, which set out a process to quickly resolve payment-related disputes on an interim basis.

A) Prompt Payment Provisions

Prompt payment provisions set deadlines by which a payor must

respond to an invoice, either to make or refuse payment. These deadlines flow down through the different levels of the construction pyramid — from owner, to contractors, to subcontractors and suppliers. The aim is to stimulate cash flow and avoid the issues projects experience when cash flow is cut off.

Under the Ontario model, for example, prompt payment provisions are triggered when a contractor delivers a proper invoice to an owner. Proper invoices are delivered on a monthly basis (unless otherwise specified in the contract), and include subcontracted services and materials. From the time of receipt, the owner must either:

(a) pay the invoice within 28 calendar days; or (b) dispute the invoice within 14 calendar days by delivering a Notice of Non-Payment to the contractor outlining the reasons for withholding the funds. Once the contractor receives payment of the invoice or a Notice of Non-Payment

from the owner, it then has seven calendar days to either: (a) pay its subcontractors; or (b) send them notices of the dispute. This process continues such that deadlines cascade through the construction pyramid in seven-day intervals. When this process goes awry, adjudication provisions provide a way forward.

B) Adjudication Provisions

Intended to enforce prompt payment, adjudication provisions establish a mandatory interim binding dispute resolution process that resembles a quick arbitration. The process is designed to take less than two months from start to finish, with the adjudicator rendering a decision on an expedited basis and, ideally, within 30 days. The adjudicator’s decision is binding on the parties until the project is complete. Thereafter, the parties are free to litigate and are no longer bound by the decisions of the adjudicator. However, data from

the UK, suggests that subsequent litigation is uncommon.

WHERE HAS IT BEEN ENACTED?

So far, Ontario and Saskatchewan are the only Canadian jurisdictions with prompt payment legislation in force. Ontario was the first out of the gate. Its regime — explained above — came into force in October 2019 and has become the model for other jurisdictions to follow. Saskatchewan’s regime, which closely mirrors Ontario’s, came into force in March 2022.

Most other jurisdictions are not far behind. Alberta, Nova Scotia, and the federal government have all passed prompt payment legislation that, as of the time of writing, has yet to come into force. Alberta’s is due to come into force in August 2022; there is no firm date set for the others yet.

A prompt payment bill is currently before the Manitoba legislature, and both New Brunswick and British Columbia intend to table legislation sometime in Fall 2022.

That leaves Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island as the only common

law provinces that do not appear to be moving forward on prompt payment legislation. Should they decide to do so, legislators in these provinces will undoubtedly pay close attention to developments in other regions and learn from their experiences.

CONCLUSION

Prompt payment and adjudication are quickly becoming features of construction law across Canada. No longer must contractors simply accept that anything other than prompt payment is an acceptable way of conducting

business. As prompt payment proliferates, important issues will emerge around the drafting of construction contracts, the jurisdiction of adjudicators, and judicial review of adjudicators’ decisions.

Industry players in Newfoundland and Labrador should stay abreast of these legal developments in other jurisdictions for two reasons. First, prompt payment legislation may impact your relationships with and obligations to partners in other jurisdictions. Second, prompt payment legislation will likely make its way to our province in due time.

PLANNING FOR CLEAN ENERGY

Wind Energy: Past and Present

BY MATTHEW CRAIG AND JOHN SAMMS

The Muskrat Falls project was a boon to the construction industry in Newfoundland and Labrador, and while software bugs continue to delay dynamic commissioning of the Labrador Island Link, the vast majority of construction work has long concluded. This left some wondering what might fill the void. The

answer to that question appears to be emerging.

It has been widely reported that there has been considerable interest in the development of green hydrogen projects in the province, most if not all of which are expected to rely on the development and production of wind energy. While the market for hydrogen exports remains somewhat

uncertain, a recent feasibility study estimated that the development of hydrogen production and the attraction of new industry could result in a hydrogen sector in the province valued at more than $11 billion per year by 2050.1

Until recently, the potential development of this new industry was impeded by the province’s energy policy:

• In 2006, amidst the early planning and assessment stages of the Muskrat Falls project, the province issued an Order in Council creating an outright ban on Crown leases and grants, as well as environmental assessments, for wind generation projects that proposed to produce energy for sale.

• In 2013, the province amended the Electrical Power Control Act (EPCA) to prohibit the development, ownership, operation, management or control of a facility for the “generation and supply of electrical power or energy either for (ones) own use or for supply directly or indirectly to or for the public or an entity on the island portion of the province”

A main object of the province’s energy policy was to ensure that major industrial users on the island portion of the province would not be able to build their own energy resources (an act that could seriously undermine the ability of the province to recover the costs of the Muskrat Falls project through the sale of Muskrat Falls power). While another provision of the EPCA allows the province to exempt a retailer or industrial customer from the prohibition, it does not appear as though any such exemptions have yet been granted.

On April 5, 2022, the province amended its 2006 Order in Council, thereby permitting interested parties to apply for Crown leases or grants for commercial wind generation projects, and permitting environmental assessments in respect of such projects. This was the first step toward paving the way for

new clean energy projects which have the potential to present significant opportunities for members of the province’s construction industry.

With that said, even after the province’s amendment of its 2006 Order in Council, considerable uncertainty remained. On July 26, 2022, the province addressed a great deal of that uncertainty by releasing written guidelines for deciding who will get access or rights to Crown land for the development of wind energy projects, as well as guidelines for environmental assessments. While these guidelines did not address royalties, the province has indicated that a royalty regime

for wind generation will be coming soon. It can also reasonably be expected that the province will take steps to either amend the EPCA, or to address the process by which interested parties may seek exemptions from the prohibition on the generation and supply of energy.

CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS AND CONSIDERATIONS

If clean energy projects proceed in the province in the manner presently expected, there are two factors likely to drive change: (i) the nature of the projects; and (ii) the emergence of new players.

THE PROJECTS

If green hydrogen creates the next boon for the construction industry in province, members of the construction industry will have opportunities to supply work and services in connection with the development of electrolyser facilities which will be the first of their kind in not just this province, but also in Canada. While the development of wind energy facilities will not be new to the Atlantic region, there are currently just two wind farms on the island of Newfoundland, both of which were constructed more than a decade ago.

Given the interest in these projects expressed to date, and the actions taken by

the provincial government, members of the construction industry would be well served by learning what they can about these types of projects, including the ways in which they may be able optimize their business to best position it for success amidst what may be the next wave of significant projects in the province.

THE PLAYERS

Perhaps the biggest difference between this potential boon and the last is that it appears very likely that these projects will be privately owned, rather than publicly owned. Private ownership of major projects can bring several changes, including those related to: procurement methods and procedures; early integration between key parties such as owner, consultants, contractors and operators; allocation of risk; and priorities with respect to up-front capital costs versus long term efficiencies in maintenance and operation. While private ownership of major projects does not necessarily mean different labour and

employment considerations, members of the industry will also want to stay aware of developments in this area.

As green hydrogen would be new to our region, it can reasonably be expected that project owners may also be new to the region. Likewise, involvement of suppliers from outside the region can reasonably be expected.

THE BOTTOM LINE

As we await further developments in the clean energy space, members of the construction industry have a chance to gain an upper hand by beginning to think about ways to maximize their opportunities

for success. This can involve learning how to adjust or adapt your business to supply work and services to a new industry, and ensuring that you have a team of advisors in place with the expertise needed to provide effective advice and guidance in the event that you are confronted with new or different types of work, procurement models, contractual provisions, financial considerations, or approaches to project management.

Just as members of the construction industry will be well served to begin planning for the opportunities on the horizon, so too will those hoping to provide advice and guidance to the members of the industry.

DISTRESSED COMPANIES: RESTRUCTURING OPTIONS

BY DARREN D. O’KEEFE

statutes that provide options for an insolvent company looking to restructure its debt. The main benefit under both is that the company will get some form of creditor protection.

(a) Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act

Years of undisciplined hyper competitive underwriting caught up to the industry, culminating in an environment in 2018 where the Canadian insurance industry as a whole paid out $1.03 in claims and expenses for every dollar they had come in, an unsustainable business model with an unacceptable ROI. Let’s face it, the pandemic has been hard on most Canadian businesses, and the construction industry is no exception. As we move towards the “new normal,” construction companies are facing a series of challenges, not the least of which is trying to balance their books once government subsidies dry up and their creditors come calling. So, what do you do when the financial pressure is too much? This article outlines a series of restructuring options available to distressed construction companies facing insolvency.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY

While the terms are often used interchange-

ably, there is a marked difference between bankruptcy and insolvency. Bankruptcy is a legal status. Here, a company is no longer in control of its assets, and a bankruptcy trustee steps into the company’s shoes, typically with the mandate to liquidate the company’s assets to satisfy its creditors. Insolvency, on the other hand, is a financial condition, where the company’s liabilities exceed the value of its assets leaving the company with the option to restructure where it is viable to do so.

ACT EARLY, AND ACT DECISIVELY

The first piece of advice we give most clients facing insolvency is to act early, and act decisively. Avoidance and indecision can mean the difference between having a shot at saving your company or not. Early engagement with your creditors, including your major secured lenders and CRA is always a wise decision.

RESTRUCTURING OPTIONS: WHICH DIRECTION DO YOU GO?

In Canada there are two main insolvency

The first option is the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, (BIA). This is a federal statute that allows companies to either liquidate or reorganize their affairs. Under the BIA a company can enter into a “proposal” process whereby a company will file a Notice of Intention to make a proposal with the court and be granted a 30-day creditor relief period to allow it time to develop a restructuring plan acceptable to its creditors. A BIA proposal, normally used for less complicated restructurings, requires a company to put its “best foot forward”, as the consequence of a failed proposal will see the company being automatically deemed bankrupt.

(b) Companies Creditor Arrangements Act

The second option is the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). In order to qualify for relief under the CCAA you must be (i) a Canadian company, (ii) be insolvent or have committed an “act of insolvency”, and (iii) have debt in excess of CDN $5 million. Like a BIA proposal, creditor relief under the CCAA requires a court application and a detailed filing setting out the company’s financial affairs at the time of filing, and at a high level, its proposed restructuring plan. The courts have found that if a company proceeds in good faith and can demonstrate a “germ of a plan” then creditor relief will be granted for an initial period of 10 days, subject to further extension by the court if appropriate. Within the CCAA process a supervising “monitor” will be appointed by the court (typically a specialized accountant) and they will oversee the proposed restructuring, deal with

creditors, and report to the court. Generally, in this process — unlike the BIA — the company’s management will stay in control of the company and work alongside the monitor to execute on the restructuring plan.

A formal BIA or CCAA process has many benefits as each act provides a number of useful tools that can be used to legally restructure. One of those tools is the use of Debtor in Possession (DIP) Financing which allows the company to raise money to execute on its restructuring plan where otherwise funds would not be available.

(c) Informal Restructuring

A third option available to companies looking to restructure is to carry out their own informal restructuring. This process remains subject to the provisions of various federal and provincial statutes, such as the BIA, CCAA and Personal Property Security Act, and is arguably the most flexible of the three options outlined because it puts the process solely within the control of the company. Where a company wishes to informally restructure, it is imperative that the company have sea-

guide them through the process. Again, as noted above, early engagement with the company’s major secured creditors will present the best likelihood of success in an informal restructuring. Options here include (i) selling redundant assets, (ii) discontinuing and reorganizing unprofitable business lines, (iii) renegotiating your secured debt (iv) negotiating payment plans with unsecured creditors, and (v) reorganizing employees. The main downside with an informal restructuring is that there is no creditor protection.

(d) Creditor Driven Action

In the event a restructuring is simply not possible because the company is too far gone, then you will most likely be faced with a creditor driven action such as a petition into bankruptcy, or as is most common, the appointment of a receiver. In this scenario, the company’s focus switches from restructuring to protection, notably, of the company’s officers and directors. Once a receiver is

appointed — either privately or by the court — they typically move quickly to liquidate the company’s assets. Often times this will leave company directors exposed for various statutory charges and responsibilities, including certain forms of tax, WHSCC, employment insurance, and employee wages. Company directors would be wise to seek independent legal advice on how to best protect themselves in this scenario.

CONCLUSION

This brief outline is meant to give an overview of the options available to distressed construction companies looking to restructure. Each situation is unique and there are various considerations at play. The most important thing is that once you recognize your financial problems that you contact the right professionals for help. Experience has taught us that the passage of time does not make a distressed debt situation better, it will only make it worse.

NO DAMAGES FOR DELAY

BY F. RICHARD GOSSE

There are too many moving parts to assume that every aspect of a construction project will stay on schedule all of the time. Delay is not only frustrating: it is expensive. Few can afford to have crews or equipment sit idle. Managing interruptions is a necessity and not just a skill, as traditionally delay costs are only recoverable if work is stopped to the point that there is nothing that you are able to do. So how is it possible to be truly delayed by events completely beyond your control and find that you have contractually released any claim to recover the costs? No-damagesfor-delay clauses are becoming more common.

Unlike the familiar delay scenarios: a) delay caused by the contractor, for which the contractor is liable, b) delay beyond anyone’s control, such as a state of emergency that extends schedules but everyone bears their own costs, or c) compensable delay which the owner accepts as its responsibility, extending schedules and covering resultant costs.

In a no-damages-for-delay scenario, the intention is to prevent the contractor from recovering delay costs even where they are not responsible for the delay. For example, from Public Services and Procurement Canada standard general conditions (IDR2860D):

GC6.5. DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME

3. Subject to paragraph 4) of GC6.5, no payment, other than a payment that is expressly stipulated in the Contract, shall be made by Canada to the Contractor for any extra expense, loss or damage incurred or sustained by the Contractor due to delay, whether or not the delay is caused by circumstances beyond the control of the Contractor.

The “paragraph 4)” exception outlines a notice process to present a claim for Canada to consider so long as the loss or damage is “directly attributable to any neglect or delay … on the part of Canada” but there is no other option for delay claims. In force majeure

circumstances a contractor can request an extension of time but no extra payment. If Canada accepts that there was delay and its cause was beyond the contractor’s control, it can then grant an extension of time, or not, in its discretion. As Canada is also bound by the contract, it is not realistic to expect accommodations based on fairness. One local contractor explains how its delay claim was rejected last year: “We have no authority to talk about what’s fair, only what’s in the contract. And it’s not as if public works caused COVID.”

In this example, on its face, the clause clearly waives any right to recover costs that result from delay unless specifically caused by the owner. The owner has the discretion to extend more time to the contractor, which can at least assist with concerns of default, but the contractor has to absorb its costs. Events like interruption in supply chains, labour shortages, or dramatic changes in occupational health and safety oversight can hardly be controlled by the contractor. Nonetheless, it is the contractor who is responsible for the fallout from any delay. Whether the risk

was adequately factored into the contract price is beside the point.

STANDARD CONTRACTS

In circumstances where both parties negotiate contracts, there is no excuse for any of the terms and conditions to be unfamiliar, but not all contracts are negotiable. When the form of contract is more take it or leave it, the contractor is not released from the obligation to review and understand what is entered into before committing. Never mind the reality that focusing on front-end procurement documents and specifications leaves little opportunity for bidders to study the form of agreement that they are either obliged to enter or have no real bargaining power to renegotiate if they are successful.

Understandably bidders take comfort in standard-form agreements: they are familiar and predictable. Organizations like the Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC) develop standard documents through a consultative process with industry representatives. One of their cardinal rules for risk allocation is that the party best able to manage a particular risk

should be the one to bear it. All the same, even CCDC documents can be modified and the CCDC cautions that supplementary conditions can be designed to undermine the fundamental nature of the standard form or the equitable balance of rights and obligations of each party. Careful review is critical. As referenced above, other groups that use non-negotiable standard forms make no pretense about risk allocation.

CASE LAW

Faced with catastrophic costs and the ongoing obligation to complete the work, the obvious question is whether the clause that excludes liability can be successfully challenged. There is not a lot of case law on specific no-damages-for-delay clauses, but on the broader category of clauses that exclude liability the arguments go both ways:

• Absent specific concerns like intellectual competency or fraud, people are generally free to contract and are held to their bargains. If it does not turn out to be the great deal that was expected, the courts cannot handout “do-overs”—agreements need to be reliable; but

• When there is an imbalance of bargaining power or an agreement is so blatantly contrary to business interests, considerations of public policy can lead the courts to narrow their interpretation of the specific terms and hold that they mean something quite different from what they state on their face.

The usual approach of the courts is to decide whether the specific language used in the contract is clear enough to exclude damages for delay. The results are not reliably predictable.

In 1967, the Supreme Court of Canada denied the contractor’s claim where the clause said: “…the Contractor shall have no claim or right of action against the Corporation for damages, costs, expenses, loss of profits or otherwise…by reason of any delay in the fulfilment of the contract within the time limited therefor occasioned by any cause or event within or without the Contractor’s control, and whether or not such delay may have resulted from anything

done or not done by the Corporation under this contract.” (Perini, [1967] SCR 189).

In separate decisions in 1985 and 1993, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court refused to enforce a clause because the language was not clear or express enough in stating: “… the Contractor shall not have, nor make any claim or demand, nor bring any action, suit or petition against the Minister for any damage which he may sustain by reason of any delay or delays, from whatever cause arising in the progress of the work.” (Westcounty Construction, 69 N.S.R. (2d) 234 and D.J. Lowe, 121 N.S.R. (2d) 361).

SUPREME COURT OF CANADA

In 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada set the currently-accepted benchmark for when an exclusion clause is enforceable. They used a three-part test:

1/ Does the clause clearly apply to the circumstances?

2/ If it does, was it “unconscionable” when the contract was made, such as because of unequal bargaining power?

3/ Even if the first two points are met, is there an overriding “public policy” concern that outweighs the public interest in upholding contracts?

There, a clause in a procurement document said: “… no Proponent shall have any claim for compensation of any kind whatsoever, as A RESULT OF PARTICIPATING IN THIS RFP, AND B y submitting a Proposal each Proponent shall be deemed to have agreed that it has no claim.”

The court was split: five judges held that “participating” in the RFP was ambiguous and did not include conduct in breach of the owner’s implied obligations, and the other four judges decided there was no unconscionability because there was no true inequality in bargaining power between the owner and a sophisticated contractor, and concerns about public policy were less important than upholding the reliability of contracts. (Tercon, 2010 SCC 4).

Obviously, decisions follow the specific facts of each case, but there have been

DARTMOUTH TRURO HALIFAX CHARLOTTETOWN

some notable endorsements of exclusion clauses that track with the minority’s approach that sophisticated parties should be held to their contracts. This presumes that contractors are aware of any restrictive terms and have accepted them and provided for any associated risk in their price, and further that, if they cannot renegotiate terms and conditions, then contractors can choose to simply not pursue that work. Whether this reflects the economic realities of industry or promotes the concept that procurement is intended to promote competition and best value is worth serious consideration. A big-picture understanding of the construction industry and “best value” for the public deserves investigation, understanding and less presuming.

In recent years, the Supreme Court of Canada has confirmed a duty of good faith in contracts. It does not mean that if a contract is not “fair” it will not be upheld, it recognizes that there is a duty of honesty

in how contracts are administered and performed. There is no suggestion that terms later thought to be unfair would be in breach of this duty or could, as in the Public Works example, authorize relief that exceeds the terms of the contract.

CONCLUSION

There is no substitute for knowing your contract before you commit to it. In a perfect world, this would mean incorporating the risk that you accept into your contract price. In every circumstance, you are better served by doing your best to plan and prepare for every contingency, but clearly

there are things beyond your control. Even when your contract includes a no-damages-for-delay clause, the owner should not be assumed to be an adversary and may be willing to work with you towards an equitable result—open that dialogue as soon as possible. After all, smart owners value motivated contractors over desperate contractors.

Relief through litigation may be available but litigation should never be your strategy on entering the contract. Do your best to be informed, stay realistic in your expectations, and do not be afraid to ask for help at any stage of the process.

WHO WRITES LETTERS ANYWAY

Clear communication is important

BY F. RICHARD GOSSE

Successful business is built on clear communications that verify that what I expect from you aligns with what you expect from me. As work advances, that means checking in to confirm that things have not changed or, more likely, to update expectations because things have changed. The goal is to communicate effectively and to preserve a record so that, if you need to in the future, you can reliably demonstrate what both sides said. Doing this well requires some thought, attention and effort.

Where previously you would place a call, most people today are inclined to text. Texting can be an efficient way to communicate a single point but, unlike a phone call or face-to-face conversation, it does not easily allow for broader discussion. Texting your client that pressure treated lumber is now $10.88 per 2x4x8 might not avoid billing issues as effectively as you might hope, especially if your text is “PTL 10.88 k?” Just as often issues originate with clients. Their text: “need u 2 save sod” does not explain that they expect you to remove, preserve and reinstate sod and pay you only for excavating.

Where

previously you would place a call, most people today are inclined to text.

The fact that the client texts you does not change the importance of you being able to demonstrate what you thought was clearly understood at the time. Speaking directly can facilitate broader discussion but you still need a written record to avoid issues if people question what exactly was said. Text messages may be in writing, but even when you can identify the relevant thread, looking back over it is usually less illuminating than you might hope. A letter written as a timely follow-up or a clear notice of something that needs attention is usually a much more effective tool.

1/ Read over and correct what you have written. Mistakes in spelling and grammar distract from the message and diminish your credibility. Software can identify errors that you might miss. Likewise, swearing and overly-familiar language can detract from a clear message. Consider whether hearing someone read your letter out loud might be embarrassing. The goal is clear communication, not great literature and certainly not entertainment or shock value.

2/ Getting and holding attention is difficult. Identify why you are writing and restrict your letter to that topic. If you have more than one reason to write, consider sending separate letters. Be specific in subject lines so that the reader not only knows which project, but also the specific purpose of the letter. Consider whether headings and subheadings would facilitate understanding.

3/ Accurately date your letter. If it takes time to finalize, use the date that it is “signed off” and ensure that references to timing (such as “yesterday on site…”) remain accurate.

4/ If a contact person is designated, ensure that they sign. Otherwise have the individual appropriate for the subject matter sign, and clearly indicate their name and position.

5/ Keep the content of the letter concise. People “tune out” easily. Avoid repetition. Refer to supporting explanations and details succinctly and attach them as clearly marked schedules that can be reviewed when the reader is able to focus on more detail. Repeating your last letter with a few word changes here and there is unlikely to bring home your point. Make the point clearly and include reference to your last letter. Attach a copy if that is helpful but what looks like the same letter sent twice is usually ignored.

6/ Strive for plain language and avoid long sentences and unfamiliar words. Affirmative and straightforward statements are more compelling than run-on sentences.

7/ Strive for statements of fact and avoid opinions or assumptions. Ensure that facts are accurate and not exaggerated. Avoid qualifiers like “presumably” or terms that attribute motivation as opposed to simply stating the facts.

8/ Where possible, be specific in identifying obligations. For example, instead of saying that progress claims take too long for approval, say that under clause 14 process claims are to be processed within 20 days. Avoid lengthy quotes where a summary is reasonable and always be careful that references are accurate.

9/ Identify applicable action items / action dates, such as by saying that the next step in proceeding with a change is to finalize the contract change order and that sign off is needed in 15 days to accommodate scheduling. State consequences factually, without aggression and not as a threat. In that same example, consider whether it is adequate to state that site directions without a formal change order would be in breach of contract instead of threatening to walk off the job and sue if the representative on site keeps directing your crew to do extra work. Never raise consequences that you are unwilling to enforce.

10/ Maintain a professional tone, even if you are responding to correspondence that does not. Making or defending

personal criticisms distracts from the substantive issues. If necessary to address unprofessionalism in the other party’s approach, use constraint. For example, try stating that the tone of their letter was unconstructive and that you are focusing your response on the issues. The objective is to get communications back on track and keep them there. Stay mindful that unresolved issues often lead to other people reviewing your communications. Your position is often improved if you are seen as the reasonable solution-oriented professional.

11/ Even if transmitted by email, prepare a letter for attachment instead of a message within the email platform.

Email rarely has the same opportunity for review and revision or sober secondthought before it is sent.

Procrastinating should not be confused with taking appropriate time to respond; avoidance rarely improves a difficult situation but well thought-out constructive communications save time in the long run. Protecting your interests merits timely and strategic communications. If you have a contract, always confirm that you are compliant with notice terms and details. Whenever you are unsure, seek assistance. Your intention is always to preserve your interests and resolve any conflicts. When that is not possible, a clear record is critical to a successful process for resolution.

COMBATTING WORKPLACE HARASSMENT

Clear communication is important

BY ASHLEY SAVINOV

Since January 1, 2020, provincially regulated employers in Newfoundland and Labrador have been mandated by law to develop, implement, and maintain policies to address workplace

harassment. The requirement came in the form of an amendment to the Newfoundland and Labrador Occupational Health and Safety Regulations, 2012 (OHS Regulations). The amendment signaled a recognition by

the legislature that harassment and violence in the workplace is a health and safety issue, not unlike the hazard of COVID-19.

The OHS Regulations define “workplace harassment” as “inappropriate vexatious

1. Berlingieri, A., Welsh, S., MacQuarrie, B., McFadyen, N.D., Bigras-Dutrisac, H. with the Canadian Labour Congress. (2022). Harassment and violence in Canadian workplaces: It’s [not] part of the job. London, ON: Centre for Research and Education on Violence Against Women and Children, Western University. Retrieved online at: https://www.learningtoendabuse.ca/ research/national_survey_on_harassment_and_violence_at_work_in_canada/Respect-at-Work-Report-ENGLISH.pdf

conduct or comment by a person to a worker that the person knew or ought to have known would cause the worker to be humiliated, offended or intimidated”.

The definition is broad enough to include harassment based on the prohibited grounds contained in the human rights legislation (which includes sexual harassment) as well as non-human rights related harassment, often referred to as personal harassment or bullying.

Respectful workplace policies, referred to in the OHS Regulations as a “harassment prevention plan” must be in writing and developed in consultation with the employer’s occupational health and safety committee. The policies are required to set out procedures for employees to report workplace harassment as well as the procedures to be followed after a complaint of harassment is received, among others.

In addition to training employees on the respectful workplace policy, the OHS Regulations require employers to participate in and provide training to employees on harassment prevention. Employers are also required to investigate complaints of workplace harassment.

WORKPLACE HARASSMENT IS REAL

A recent research study conducted by Western University in collaboration with the Canadian Labour Congress revealed that more than 71 per cent of survey respondents experienced at least one form of harassment and violence or sexual harassment and violence in the workplace in the two years prior to completing the survey.1

For the first time, in 2020, Statistics Canada conducted the Survey on Sexual Misconduct at Work, which was released on August 12, 2021. The research revealed

that 25 per cent of women and 17 per cent of men reported having been personally targeted with inappropriate sexualized behaviour in their workplace in the past year. Almost half (47 per cent) of women working in trades, transportation, equipment operation and related occupations said that they experienced inappropriate sexualized behaviour at work in the past year, compared with 19 per cent of men.2

WHY HAVE A RESPECTFUL WORKPLACE POLICY?

Besides the obvious reason that having a respectful workplace policy is required by law, having such a policy provides a framework for acceptable workplace behaviour and promotes a culture of mutual respect amongst colleagues. Training employees

on the policy (which is also required by law) ensures employees are aware of the policy and understand the consequences for noncompliance which should include disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Harassment prevention training provides education on what workplace harassment is and what it is not. For some employers, implementing a respectful workplace policy may simply reinforce a culture of mutual respect; for others, it may amount to a significant shift in office culture.

WORKPLACE HARASSMENT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

A recent case from the Ontario Court of Appeal has reinforced the message that a work environment of inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated.

In Render v ThyssenKrupp Elevator (Canada) Limited, 2022 ONCA 310 (Render), a 30-year operations manager with a clean disciplinary record was terminated for cause for an instance of sexual misconduct in violation of the company’s policy. The manager slapped a female employee’s buttocks and said: “good game”, a gesture and comment made amongst male employees at the

workplace on occasion. The termination was upheld. The court also rejected the notion that the workplace culture was a mitigating factor in determining if the employer had just cause to terminate the manager’s employment. The court held that such a work environment did not mean that the female employee who experienced the sexual misconduct

consented to being touched on a sexual part of her body.

The following comments of Feldman JA of the Ontario Court of Appeal in the Render decision are instructive for all employers (and employees), particularly those who have allowed an atmosphere ripe with inappropriate comments or jokes to continue in the workplace:

Holidays Come Home for the

I would also add that this was a most unfortunate situation that arose out of an overly familiar and, as a result, inappropriate workplace atmosphere that was allowed to get out of hand…it is a workplace atmosphere that can no longer be tolerated. Although some may perceive it to be benign and all in good fun, those on the receiving end of personal “jokes” do not view it that way. And when things go too far…the legal consequences can be severe. Every workplace should be based on mutual respect among co-workers. An atmosphere of mutual respect will naturally generate the boundaries of behaviour that should not be crossed.

TAKEAWAYS FOR EMPLOYERS

Workplace harassment is an occupational health and safety issue and an unfortunate reality in Canadian workplaces. Employers must therefore ensure their respectful workplace policies are current and comply with the OHS Regulations or risk legal liability which may include penalties under OHS legislation and the cost of a court case. Failure to ensure a respectful workplace and allow a culture of inappropriate jokes to persist under the guise of a relaxed and fun atmosphere can lead to poor employee morale, result in turnover, and impact productivity. It can also lead to negative public relations implications.

Providing employees with regular training on the topic of harassment prevention as well as annual refreshers on the respectful workplace policy will reinforce the message that the work environment is one of mutual respect where harassment will not be tolerated.

ATLANTIC IMMIGRATION PROGRAM CHANGES

BY MEGHAN FELT & KIM COLLIER

• An enhanced employer commitment to settlement needs of the employees continues to be required.

However, there are some important differences between the AIP and the Pilot. Here are five of the key changes to the Pilot that Atlantic Canadian employers seeking to utilize the permanent AIP need to know.

1/ NEW EMPLOYER DESIGNATION PROCESS

As under the Pilot, all participating employers must first be designated by an Atlantic province to hire immigrants under the AIP. However, employers previously designated under the Pilot must reapply for designation under the AIP with their respective Atlantic Canadian province.

2/ MANDATORY TRAINING FOR EMPLOYMENT DESIGNATION AND ENDORSEMENT

The current labour crunch is affecting most Canadian industry sectors — including construction.

Buildforce Canada reports it’s expected that 3,380 workers (17 per cent of current labour force) in Newfoundland and Labrador will retire between 2022 and 2027 but with only 1,800 new local workers (aged 30 or less) recruited.

Immigration is one solution to the ongoing labour crunch. The Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program became the permanent Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) on January 1, 2022. Originally launched in 2017, the government reports the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program has brought more than 10,000 new permanent residents to Atlantic Canada,

and more than 9,800 job offers have been made in several sectors. Significantly, the Pilot also boasted a reported 90 per cent retention rate after one year. With the goal of offering at least 6,000 admission spaces yearly, the AIP builds on the success of the Pilot and offers significant immigration opportunities for Atlantic Canadian employers to continue to address regional labour market needs and increase newcomer retention in the Atlantic region. The AIP retains several key features and criteria of the Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program, including:

• It remains an employer-driven process.

• Candidates must still have an offer of employment for continuous full-time nonseasonal work.

Under the Pilot, training courses for employers seeking to utilize the Pilot were optional. A major change is that before it can utilize the AIP, an employer must complete two mandatory training courses to help it support the settlement and integration of their newcomer employees. However, employers need only complete each training session once.

Onboarding Training. An employer must complete onboarding training before it can be designated as an employer under the AIP. The onboarding training covers a number of topics, including:

• An introduction to Canada’s immigration system.

• Background on the Atlantic Immigration Program.

• Overview of roles and responsibilities.

• The Atlantic Immigration Program process.

• Permanent residence application.

• Work permit application.

• Permanent resident status.

• Settlement and integration into the community.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) offers these sessions twice monthly for free in French and English. Intercultural Competency Training. An employer must complete this training before it can submit its first application for endorsement under the AIP. The intercultural competency training covers several topics, including:

• Creating welcoming and culturally inclusive workplaces.

• Newcomer experiences.

• Cultural awareness.

Designated service providers in each Atlantic Canada province offer these sessions for free in French and English.

3/ ONE PROGRAM STREAM

While the Pilot offered three separate program streams depending on the applicant’s work experience and job offer, the AIP offers one single program stream: the “Atlantic Immigration Class.” This change is intended to streamline the AIP and make it more comprehensible to Canadians, employers, and candidates.

4/ MODIFIED APPLICANT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

While retaining key Pilot elements, the AIP modifies the language, education, and work experience requirements of candidates. The language and education criteria are now more restrictive for candidates to ensure they have the necessary capabilities and can successfully integrate into the Canadian workforce. However, the work experience requirement is less restrictive via an expanded work experience eligibility period and more flexible work requirements for candidates in certain health care occupations.

Language requirements. Under the Pilot, all applicants had to demonstrate approved language testing demonstrating a minimum level of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of 4. Under the AIP, the minimum language requirements are based on the National Occupational Classification (NOC) category of the job being offered:

• NOC 0, A and B job offer. CLB of 5.

• NOC C job offer. CLB of 4.

Education requirements. Under the Pilot, applicants, regardless of NOC category, were required to have a minimum of a high school diploma (or equivalent). Under the AIP, the minimum educational requirements have increased and are based on the NOC category of the job being offered: NOC 0 or A job offer. Canadian one-year postsecondary educational credential or higher, or the equivalent outside Canada. NOC B and C job offer. Canadian High School diploma, or the equivalent outside Canada.

As under the Pilot, under the AIP applicants must also still meet the minimum educational requirements set out for the specific NOC code for the job offer. With the exception of Canadian graduate applicants, an applicant must provide an Educational Credential Assessment(s) (ECA) to demonstrate that the applicant meets the relevant education criteria. Under the Pilot, the ECA could not be more than two years old at the time of the application submission; under the AIP, the ECA cannot be more than five years old.

Work experience. Changes to the work experience requirement have the goals of expanding the recruitment pool for Atlantic Canadian employers and assisting the labour market needs in the chronically in-demand health-sector: Eligibility period. Under the Pilot, candidates must have worked at least 1,560 hours in the past three years, and the minimum work requirements varied by stream. Under the AIP, candidates must have worked at least 1,560 hours in the past five years. As well, the minimum work experience requirements

are based on the NOC level of the job being offered. Candidates are only permitted to accept a job offer at the same skill level or higher than their work experience level. International Students. Work experience is not required for recent international students who graduated from a recognized post-secondary institution in Atlantic Canada in the 24 months prior to application. That said, international graduates can count work experience acquired while studying, if the work hours don’t exceed the authorized amount permitted under their study permit (20 hours/week assuming enrolled in full time studies).

Flexible health care work requirements. For certain health care sector occupations, candidates don’t need to have a job offer at the same skill level or higher than the qualifying work experience. Specifically, work experience in NOC 3233 (practical nurses) and NOC 3012 (registered nurses) is considered as qualifying work experience for job offers in NOC 3413 (nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates) or NOC 4412 (home health care workers).

5/ INCREASED PROCESSING TIME AND ONLINE SUBMISSIONS

Under the pilot, the federal processing time for obtaining permanent residency was six months. Under the AIP, the processing time is now likely to be closer to 12 months to ensure that newcomers can successfully establish themselves in the region and to increase retention rates of immigrants in Atlantic Canada. IRCC is now permitting candidates to file the federal portion of the AIP application online via the newly implemented Permanent Resident Portal.

WHAT’S NEW IN THE CORPORATIONS ACT

BY BETH MCGRATH

Changes to the Newfoundland and Labrador Corporations Act took effect on April 1, 2022, both imposing new obligations and removing old restrictions on Newfoundland and Labrador corporations — including those in the construction sector. Here’s a look at the three key changes to the Corporations Act and how they impact Newfoundland and Labrador corporations.

1/ REGISTER OF INDIVIDUALS WITH “SIGNIFICANT CONTROL”

As of April 1, 2022, N.L. corporations must record, track, and disclose individuals with “significant control” over the corporation. Before, corporations were only required to maintain a registry of named shareholders and the shares each holds. They didn’t need to keep track of cases in which a named shareholder holds shares for the benefit

of another person (beneficial ownership), register or publicly disclose that information, and it remains confidential. Only named directors can be accessed from the public registry. The introduction of this register of significant control requirement brings Newfoundland and Labrador into line with the business corporations’ legislation of a number of other Canadian provinces and territories, including the Canada Business

Corporations Act, which effected a Register for Individuals With Significant Control in 2019. This legislative trend toward transparency about the control of Canadian corporations is intended to specifically address issues like tax evasion, money laundering and corruption. Beyond this, increased transparency is consistent with the rise in corporate adoption and implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles globally, including in Canada, and other examples of legislated transparency, such as corporate diversity disclosure obligations of certain corporations.

Registry. Corporations must identify, record, and maintain a registry of individuals with “significant control” over the corporation. They must also keep that registry current, and take reasonable steps to ensure it identifies any changes to those with significant control at least once in each fiscal year. The registry must include all of the following information about each individual with significant control:

• Their name, date of birth and latest known address.

• Their jurisdiction of residence for income tax purposes.

• The date on which they became or ceased to be an individual with significant control.

• A description of how they are an individual with significant control, including, as applicable, a description of their interests and rights in respect of the corporation’s shares.

For some corporations, creating and maintaining the registry of individuals with significant control is a simple exercise, and is similar to their current registry of shareholders. For others, however, it’s a complicated and time-consuming exercise. The Act requires the corporation maintain the registry at the corporation’s registered office or another place designated by the directors. A well-maintained corporate minute book, and in particular a virtual minute book accessible from anywhere, will save corporations time and money creating and maintaining the registry of individuals with significant control.

“Significant Control”. The definition of “significant control” is intended to catch both the corporation’s named shareholders and its beneficial owners or controllers of shares: anyone that controls or influences 25 per cent

or more of the voting rights or outstanding shares of the corporation, whether they do so directly or indirectly. This will require that, at a minimum, corporations take reasonable steps to inquire as to any beneficial ownership status, or other ownership issues, with its shareholders. The Act requires shareholders to respond to such inquiries.

Disclosure. The changes mean corporations have much broader disclosure obligations. The corporation must now disclose its significant control registry to certain third parties, including the following, upon their request: the Newfoundland & Labrador Registrar of Companies, certain investigative bodies (police, federal and provincial securities and financial regulators, and taxing authorities, including the Canada Revenue Agency and provincial authorities), shareholders, and its creditors. While the scope of those that can request the registry of significant control is broad, not every request triggers the corporation’s disclosure obligation. Under the Act, investigative bodies can only request information under certain circumstances, such as if it’s related to an ongoing investigation, or administering or enforcing relevant statutes. Similarly, shareholders and creditors can only request information under certain circumstances, though those are broad, encompassing any matter related to the corporation’s affairs, including those to do with share acquisition transactions and share voting processes. It’s therefore important that corporations implement a process to carefully review and evaluate disclosure requests to ensure they are only disclosing the registry of individuals with significant control to those entitled to it, or potentially face the ire of shareholders. Corporations are also wise to ensure the information is readily available and up to date so they are prepared to respond to valid requests in a timely manner.

Penalty. Failure to maintain the significant control registry exposes a corporation to a fine of up to $5,000.

2/ NO CANADIAN RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS

As of April 1, 2022, Newfoundland & Labrador corporations are no longer required to have any Canadian resident directors. Currently, 25 per cent of a Newfoundland and Labrador corporation’s directors must be Canadian residents. This change is consistent with the majority of Canadian provinces and territories, and broadens access to potential directors. It’s particularly beneficial to international corporations seeking to do business in Newfoundland and Labrador that might, at the outset, lack local contacts to fill director positions. Such businesses often chose to incorporate in another Canadian jurisdiction without the Canadian residency requirement, and extra-provincially register in Newfoundland and Labrador, adding time and cost to the process. This is no longer necessary, making it easier for such corporations to do business in Newfoundland and Labrador.

3/ MANDATED LEGISLATION REVIEW

The changes also implement a mandatory review of the Act within five years after the changes took effect on April 1, 2022. A review of the Act is long overdue: few changes have been made since it took effect in 1986. This mandatory provision ensures a review will happen by 2027, and will hopefully result in more changes to modernize the Act. For example, Newfoundland and Labrador remains one of the few Canadian jurisdictions with financial assistance prohibitions. However, it’s important that corporations remember the Act can be changed at any time, and they must monitor and comply with any and all changes to it, whether as a result of the mandatory review or otherwise.

Nothing But Net Savings for Local Business

There’s a basketball academy in Paradise that’s doing a lot more than teaching kids how to dribble.

CE23 is committed to the development of the sport of basketball among young people in our province – teaching them essential skills, a strong work ethic, and a genuine love of the game.

Wondering what’s up with the business name? That’s the initials and jersey number of the academy’s founder – local b-ball legend, Carl English. The facility he has built is pretty epic too. From the full-size, 14,000-square-foot, hardwood NBA floor to the black and gold colour scheme, no detail has been spared. That includes the energy e ciency of the place.

During the planning of the extensive renovation, English contacted the team at takeCHARGE to help him find ways to make the building more energy e cient. He decided to replace six industrial fan-forced electric resistance heaters in the gym with six energy-e cient mini-split heat pumps which keep the gym warm in winter and cool in summer. He also installed LED high-bay lighting

throughout the facility and LED wall packs around the building exterior. LED lights provide better quality lighting for a more enjoyable sports experience. They also last longer so they require less maintenance – a nice feature given the high location of the fixtures.

Of course, the biggest benefit is the money saved. These heating and lighting upgrades netted the business almost $9,000 in takeCHARGE rebates.

And the savings didn’t end with the rebates. With a building that’s using heat and energy wisely, the business is saving about $10,000 a year in electricity costs. That’s a real win for English’s bottom line, enabling further investment in the business to help make more basketball dreams come true.

Partnering with the takeCHARGE team was such a smart business move, and pretty on-brand for English who likes to do things the right way. As a young boy in Patrick’s Cove, he built his own basketball nets and poured his own asphalt to maximize his performance as he trained for the big leagues. So when it came to building his basketball academy in 2021,

he wanted to maximize performance there too. “The takeCHARGE team worked closely with us and helped us find the best ways to save energy and money,” says English. English and the takeCHARGE team were a winning combination.

CE23 Basketball Academy is one of hundreds of local businesses who scored significant savings with the takeCHARGE Business E ciency Program – a joint initiative between Newfoundland Power and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro that helps businesses get more energy e cient and save money. From sports to shops to spas, the takeCHARGE team can help any kind of business find solid energy e ciency solutions. They'll get you started with rebates* on all kinds of energy-e cient products.You might say they’ll jump through hoops to help.
