MONTREAL — How many workers does it take to shift a wall in Quebec? Too many, says Isabelle Rinfret of construction and real estate management company Arvisais, based roughly 95 kilometres northeast of Montreal, in Louiseville, Que.

During a recent project, her company had to move a wall one metre. But to comply with the rules, she had to hire an interior systems installer to move the partition, a plasterer to smooth out the surface, and a third person to paint the wall.

"We have needs that are growing in Quebec: housing, hospitals, roads, infrastructure, industrial projects," Boulet said in an interview."We need to help our capacity to build to meet these needs, and that happens by meeting two challenges: first, a larger workforce and second, more productivity." The Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation, meanwhile, estimates the province will need to build more than 1.1 million additional housing units by 2030 in order for housing to be as affordable to average income households as it was in 2004, the corporation said in a September report.

Her stance echoes that of the Association provinciale des constructeurs d'habitations du Québec, a network of 20,000 residential construction industry employers. Association vice-president Isabelle Demers said more flexibility in the industry would not only simplify site management but also help with worker retention.

"Versatility should never be at the expense of expertise," union president Carl Dufour said in a statement this month."What the government wants to do by reforming is to cut corners, because it can't deliver the seniors' homes, hospitals, schools and roads promised during the election."
