A historic agreement among the First Peoples, the CCQ, and the construction employer and union associations to build Qu\u00e9bec together<\/strong><\/h4>\n


\n<\/strong>Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, November 13, 2024 \/RMC \/<\/strong>\u2014 Today, in Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, the Commission de la construction du Qu\u00e9bec<\/strong> (CCQ), alongside the First Nations and Inuit and the partners in the industry, is launching the Construction Industry Action Plan for the Inclusion of First Nations and Inuit<\/strong> during the 5th Indigenous Peoples and Qu\u00e9bec Regional Economic Circle.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the centre of this historic moment of economic and social reconciliation, the CCQ nurtured an essential dialogue between the First Nations peoples and the Inuit, the employer and union associations, and governmental bodies. The 24 measures<\/strong> in the action plan, some of which are already in place, are a guarantee of success in responding appropriately to deliver on the ambitious order book for Qu\u00e9bec and to build it together.\u201d<\/em>
\n\u2014<\/strong> Audrey Murray, CEO of the CCQ<\/strong><\/p>\n

In April 2019, the CCQ launched a major collaborative project for inclusion of the First Nations and Inuit in the construction industry. Its objectives are to provide an appropriate overall response to the demands expressed by the First Nations and Inuit and to enable the CCQ to coordinate structured efforts with the industry\u2019s partners through formulation of the Construction Industry Action Plan for the Inclusion of First Nations and Inuit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Act to modernize the construction industry <\/strong><\/p>\n

In adopting the Act to modernize the construction industry <\/em>last spring, the Qu\u00e9bec government made it possible to establish measures dedicated to Indigenous communities. By doing so, the government has encouraged better representativeness by members of First Nations and Inuit communities in the construction industry. Easier access, greater mobility, and involvement in referrals for First Peoples workers are also set out in the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertain aspects of the Construction Industry Action Plan for the Inclusion of First Nations and Inuit being launched today have been accelerated by the coming into force of Act 19, which includes the framework necessary for the CCQ to move ahead with the various measures. This is great progress for Qu\u00e9bec and for First Nations peoples and Inuit. I offer my congratulations to all the actors involved, who collaborated in good faith to contribute to the writing of this plan.\u201d<\/em>
