MCAC/CIPH make joint submission to Natural Resources Canada

The Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating (CIPH) and the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada (MCA Canada) want to share the messages about the importance of proceeding together in collaboration to meet the federal government's Emissions Reduction Plan and commitment to funding the Net Zero-Emissions Building Strategy as outlined in the recent federal budget.

As part of a joint submission to Natural Resources Canada, MCAC and CIPH recommended:

• prioritizing alignment between provinces, territories with industry buy-in for
  updates to Canada’s building codes and standards,
• retrofit investments of $20 billion to reflect similar investments in housing and
  new infrastructure committed by the federal government,
• workforce development investments of $1.25 billion in education, training and
  upskilling related to energy efficiency and climate resilience, as recommended by
  the Recovery Task Force, and
• investing $10 million per year over the next five years to market and promote the
  plumbing and mechanical trades for their valuable contributions to improving
  environmental outcomes, including $2 million to promote these trades to
  underrepresented groups.
