Provincial regulation certifies 25 construction trades in Quebec, and divisions between them are rigid

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.

The proposal has set up a clash between economic development goals and labour interests in the province, where union influence runs deep and construction accounted for 6.6 per cent of economic output as of 2022, according to Statistics Canada. Those needs are staggering. In March, Quebec earmarked $150-billion for public construction, renovation and maintenance projects through 2033, an increase of $7.5-billion from the 2022 10-year plan. The government intends to spend most of that money, $81-billion, to maintain existing infrastructure.

Rinfret agrees more versatility between trades for qualified workers would be a boon for the industry. “I totally agree that decompartmentalizing certain trades would enable us to gain in productivity,” she said in an e-mail. “With additional training or experience, a single person who could, for example, do carpentry and plastering work could be part of the solution to the labour shortage.”

However, Boulet’s proposal has drawn criticism from CSD Construction, a union that represents almost 25,000 Quebec construction workers. It argues greater versatility between trades would place an unfair burden on labourers while threatening work site safety and construction quality.
