This is a critical win for Canada\u2019s economy, and for the skilled trades workers who are ready to get to work building the infrastructure our future demands.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>CBTU has long advocated for regulatory reform to accelerate the development of nationally significant infrastructure, energy, and resource projects. Bill C-5 provides the necessary framework to streamline processes while maintaining rigorous oversight, enabling Canada to build what it needs more quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>As a result of Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions and our affiliate&#8217;s focused advocacy efforts, the successful passage of Bill C-5 now explicitly includes a requirement to create good-paying, unionized jobs. This milestone ensures that unions are firmly embedded in legislation that will shape Canada\u2019s economic future and support long-term prosperity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>In the lead-up to this legislation passing, CBTU also mobilized our members across the country, launching a grassroots letter-writing campaign that generated thousands of messages to Members of Parliament. The message was clear: Canada\u2019s skilled trades workers need tools, not red tape, to build the projects that will secure our economic future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThank you to our members who quickly mobilized and responded to our letter-writing campaign, sending thousands of letters to their MPs and emphasized how critical it is to get Canada building again,\u201d said Sean Strickland, Executive Director of Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis legislation marks a significant step forward by establishing a streamlined, one-project, one-approval process. Bill C-5 represents, to our knowledge, the first time in recent Canadian history that we will have enhanced project certainty at this scale.\u00a0Today, Canada met the moment and delivered on promises for progress, collaboration, and real results.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>Canada\u2019s 600,000 unionized construction workers are prepared to build vital energy systems, trade corridors, and public infrastructure, including projects like Gull Island, LNG Phase 2 in Kitimat, critical mineral mining and export initiatives, and small modular reactors to bolster national energy security. These are the projects Canada needs urgently to drive economic growth and energy independence.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis legislation will unleash job-creating and\u00a0<em>job-saving<\/em>\u00a0projects across the country,\u201d continued Strickland. \u201cThis is about more than construction; it\u2019s about securing livelihoods, communities, and Canada\u2019s long-term economic resilience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>The passage of this legislation is a pivotal moment for Canada\u2019s future. With a united skilled trades workforce and growing public support, CBTU is ready to help lead the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Legislation Will Unleash Major Projects, Boost the Economy, and Put Canadians to Work\u00a0 Canada\u2019s Building Trades Unions (CBTU) welcomes today\u2019s passage of Bill C-5 in the Senate, An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act.
