Prompt Payment & Adjudication Information:
Ontario’s Construction Act continues to evolve, with major updates now in effect for 2026 through Bill 216 and Bill 60. Changes include mandatory annual holdback releases, enhanced adjudication, and improved prompt payment rules to help reduce payment delays and improve cash flow in the construction industry.
COCA’s updated Prompt Payment and Adjudication Toolkit helps businesses understand these changes and navigate the new rules with confidence.
