b'PRESIDENTS MESSAGEthe experience to get the job done. Predictably, the pool of qualified adjudicators on day one will be small but thats OK. The industry will be on a learning curve and the number of adjudications will initially be few. My best guess is that more often than not as employers become familiar with an unfamiliar process, we will solve most of our disputes the old fashioned way. Through communication.So what happens next? First and foremost, ADR Chambers need to know who among you wants to become an adjudicator. Sounds simple but for the fact that it is not yet clear what they are looking for. For their part, the ANA will need to determine the qualification threshold and ensure it is broad-based enough to include industry veterans. That done, they will need training programs with sufficient qualified trainers to meet what we expect will be a considerable demand. Easier said than done. TCA has offered to help, particularly since we are already in the education/training business, but the ANA has so far opted to go it alone. Incidentally, The Construction Institute of Canada (TCAs education arm) is already offering an adjudication curriculum designed for prospective adjudicators and is in the process of developing a plethora of courses that will help practitioners transition to the first-in-Canada prompt payment regime. So stay tuned. We are here to help. Its what we do.Now its your turn. These are exciting times for Ontarios construction industry. No other city in North America has $15 billion of construction and 120 active tower cranes. And no other province in Canada has prompt payment. Its also particularly difficult to manage legislative change when we are crazy busy, but it has to happen and mistakes will be prohibitively expensive. So let us help and lets get through this together.Respectfully,John Mollenhauer TCA President & CEO8Quarter 2 2019 BUILDERSDIGEST'
