"Convene a panel of employer and employee representatives from the construction industry to explore the creation of a wage grid for construction." — peigreens.ca backgrounder, 2023-03-09

"This is modeled on Manitoba’s Construction Wages Industry Act which sets out a wage grid for construction industry jobs; this provides transparency and promotes wage fairness in the sector, while also signaling the wages that are available to workers outside the province. Manitoba’s Act has been in place for decades and has the support of both industry and workers. Any changes to the grid are done in consultation with those parties. According to BuildForce Canada, Manitoba is one of the few Canadian provinces that expects to have more entrants to the construction sector than retirements over the next 6 years." — peigreens.ca backgrounder, 2023-03-09
