Investments highlighted in Budget 2025 will require the skills and expertise of the mechanical contracting sector

OTTAWA, November 4, 2025 – The Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCAC) and mechanical contracting sector is committed to “Building Canada Strong,” but the association noted that investments highlighted in the 2025 federal budget can only be accomplished through collaboration and policies that support mechanical and major trade contractors across Canada.

“Mechanical contractors across the country are integral to building and maintaining the infrastructure and built environment that is required to ‘Build Canada Strong,’” said Tania Johnston, MCAC Chief Executive Officer. “Our sector contributes more than $30 billion to Canada’s GDP, and employs more than 205,000 workers across the country. We look forward to helping the government to align on policies to directly address workforce development and retention, productivity-improving investments, and the sustainability of mechanical and major trade contractors across the country.”
