The Progressive Contractors Association of Canada (PCA) has launched the Fair and Open B.C. voter awareness campaign in preparation for the upcoming elections in British Columbia. The campaign aims to highlight key issues such as fairness and affordability, with a specific focus on addressing the regressive NDP labour policy that has resulted in labor shortages and cost overruns on major taxpayer-funded projects.
According to PCA B.C. regional director Dan Baxter, the NDP government’s labor policy has excluded 85% of the province’s construction workforce from important public projects, leading to budget overruns on projects like the Pattullo Bridge Replacement and the Cowichan District Hospital construction. Baxter emphasizes the need for a fair, open, and competitive bidding process for public projects to save taxpayer dollars and address pressing issues such as healthcare funding and deficit reduction.
