“When you are a contractor in Quebec and
you are a member of Quebec Construction As-
sociation, you know that you have a voice—
even if it’s in a big organization. All of the gov-
ernance helps everyone that has something
to say to express themselves and to be con-
sidered. That forum is very important,” said
Hamel.
Listening to the contractor has given ACQ
a head start in foreseeing and adapting to
changes within the industry.
“This helps us to develop a lot of services be-
cause before legislation is adopted, we have
the chance to make some representation, and
so we’re ahead of the curve. Contractors see
that and appreciate it very much.”
He notes that it can get lonely in the develop-
ment side in the construction industry. When
facing problems many contractors may ques-
tion themselves as to whether they are doing
things correctly. And this applies to ACQ itself.
