On January 1, 2026, significant updates to Ontario’s Construction Act will take effect with practical implications for owners, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. These updates, introduced through Bill 60 and shaped by industry feedback, will adjust lien timelines, holdback rules and contract termination requirements.
Join members of our Construction Group for a detailed discussion on these developments. This session will provide practical guidance to help stakeholders manage risk, ensure compliance and update contract management practices in line with the new rules.
Topics include:
- Overview of Construction Act amendments, implementation timeline and transitional provisions
- Separation of annual holdback release from lien expiry and impact on cash flow
- Revised holdback restrictions and protection of contractor and subcontractor interests
- Stricter notice requirements for contract terminations and practical compliance strategies
