In April 2026, PCA, CLAC and a delegation of our members travelled to Victoria, B.C., to attend the second reading of MLA Kiel Giddens’ Private Member’s Bill (M-233), the Public Sector Construction Projects Procurement Act. Our delegates were proud to show support for the bill, which—if passed—would move B.C. toward a fair and open procurement model by reinforcing labour neutrality and ensuring all qualified contractors and skilled tradespeople can compete on equal footing. Following the reading, delegates participated in a press conference and spent two days meeting with more than 30 MLAs to advocate for fair and open procurement and the benefits of a progressive labour model. These efforts also included a Fair and Open B.C. Information Evening and a working dinner with staff from the B.C. Conservative Caucus.
