February 28, 2015 – At the Council of Ontario Construction Association’s (COCA) recent annual general meeting, Eryl Roberts—executive vice-president of Electrical Contractors Association of Ontario (ECAO)—was awarded the Cliff Bulmer Award. Congratulations!

The Cliff Bulmer Award is presented to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution toward furthering the relationship between the construction industry and the Ontario government. Roberts was recognized for his work on Bill 69, The Prompt Payment Act, which the government set aside in 2014 to launch a review of the Construction Lien Act.

This led to the creation of Prompt Payment Ontario (PPO): a single-issue body formed specifically to pursue the passage of prompt payment legislation in the province.
