CHBA BC Sends Letter to BC Government to Oppose Prompt Payment
CHBA BC
Last week, CHBA BC submitted a letter to Attorney General Niki Sharma on the working group established to discuss prompt payment legislation in BC. The letter highlights CHBA BC's concerns around the overall consultation process, with particular emphasis on the disproportionate representation of stakeholders engaged in the process. You can read it here.
The letter also reiterates and expands on concerns raised in CHBA BC's last letter to the Attorney General regarding the failure of the working group to first assess and evaluate the potential impacts of prompt payment legislation prior to drafting it.
This is of significant concern as prompt payment legislation could introduce another layer of regulatory and administrative burden for small- and medium-sized homebuilders and developers, which may hinder the ability to deliver on much-needed housing supply.
