The B.C. government announced on November 2, 2021 that it will be extending the deadline for pre-existing owners to file with the Land Owner Transparency Registry, giving reporting bodies with an interest in land more time to file a transparency report without incurring penalties.

The Province has heard from lawyers (including Lawson Lundell lawyers) and others that pre-existing owners need more time to gather information about ownership and prepare to file with the registry. The Land Owner Transparency Registry represents a significant change for land owners in B.C. and the Province acknowledged the pandemic has also placed additional administrative strain on the resources of businesses in B.C. Therefore, the deadline for filing has been extended to Nov. 30, 2022.

Ontario’s Mandatory Annual Holdback Release Starts In 2027: What Owners And Contractors Need To Know

Starting in 2027, all Ontario project owners with contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2026, and most owners with contracts dating back to July 1, 2018, must start releasing statutory holdback to their contractors on an annual basis. This requirement is the latest in a series of construction payment reforms under Ontario’s Construction Act. It replaces the traditional model of retaining holdback until substantial performance.
