b'while prompt payment and mandatory adjudication will come into force on October 1, 2019. Further, the amendments include transitional provisions pursuant Quebec to which certain contracts will be grandfathered and Bill 108: Pilot Projects subject to the Construction Lien Act as it read prior to the amendments taking effect.One of the things were undertaking to do right now through our network of 29 construction associations, explains Ian Cunningham, President of the Council of Ontario Construction Associations, is trying to inform and educate contractors about the new system. However, the reality in the construction industry is that its impossible to reach everybody. There will be a lot of people who arent paying attention, and no doubt there will be some people whoonce the prompt payment regime comes into effectwill be caught off-guard, but everybody is doing their best to inform and educate contractors about the new system.Some have expressed concern that the process in Ontario may disrupt existing contracts in mid-performance, but that Nova Scotia shouldnt be an issue. In Ontario, says Cunningham, the transition rules are that a project that was initiated prior Bill 119 to October 1, 2019, will be subject to the old rules, and projects started after that date will be subject to the new rules, so those are very high-level transitional provisions. There will naturally be bumps in the road, and people who are not informed of the new system after October 1, but there are transitional rules in place that should make itNew Brunswick fairly easy.Law Reform Notes #40 and #41SERVICE YOU CAN COUNT ON204-233-8687 16 SPEERS RD, WPGSTARBUILDING.CAIssue 3FallEdition 2019 BUILD MANITOBA 41'
