The Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada is ready to work closely with the newly appointed cabinet to ‘Build Canada Now’
OTTAWA, May 13, 2025 – The Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCAC) congratulated Prime Minister Mark Carney and newly appointed cabinet ministers today, as the association pledged to work closely with ministers and senior officials to “Build Canada Now.”
“When Prime Minister Carney closed his initial press conference, his final statement was ‘Build big, build bold, and build now.’ We are ready to work with this new cabinet to see that come to fruition,” said Tania Johnston, MCAC Chief Executive Officer. “Our association and our industry stands at the ready to solve the challenges our economy faces in the years ahead, and to help build a bigger, stronger, and more resilient economy for all Canadians.”
During the election campaign, MCAC called on all candidates to consider policies and platforms that would support the Canadian mechanical contracting industry. The association outlined several policy areas, including targeted support for the mechanical contracting sector workforce and its “Growth Critical Trades,” and a more hospitable business environment to attract new investment in the Canadian economy.
“The federal government has an important choice to make in how it supports essential industries such as the mechanical contracting sector,” Johnston continued. “Canadians need mechanical contractors to build the systems we rely on each day, and our sector needs a government that is prepared to ‘Build Canada Now.’ We look forward to working with this new cabinet to realize that goal.”
