May 9 - 11, 2022
The Canadian Institute of Plumbing & Heating (CIPH) and the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCA Canada) jointly held another highly successful Parliamentary Day of Awareness between May 9 - 11, 2022 in Ottawa.
CIPH and MCA Canada’s Day on the Hill Wraps Up with over 30 Parliamentarian Meetings with Key Messages.
The Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating (CIPH) and the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCA Canada ) want to share the messages about the importance of proceeding together in collaboration to meet the federal governments Emissions Reduction Plan and commitment to funding the Net Zero-Emissions Building Strategy as outlined in the recent federal budget. As an industry we want to see market transformation that leads to a sustainable, low carbon economy. We believe that to make transformation possible, government and industry need to work together.
As two national associations involved with Canada’s construction industry CIPH and MCA Canada firmly believe that Net-zero buildings will not be achieved on the government’s timelines without major new investments in training, incentives, and promotion to attract new workers. The newest technologies and most efficient products are important to reaching Canadas net-zero objectives but without an ample supply of skilled tradespeople to install and service them the market will not be able to respond quickly. This is a must for our respective industries. CIPH and MCA Canada recognize that the more government and industry collaborates meaningfully the more they can indeed make a difference to make our wonderful country competitive.
