Merit Canada is the national voice of Canada’s seven provincial Open Shop construction associations. Our over 5,000 members employ over 80,000 Canadians directly and together we represent the companies and workers who build more than 70% of the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional, and Residential construction projects coast to coast. As of June 2011, the Canadian construction sector employed 1.260 million Canadians with 900,000 working in the “open shop” sector. This represents almost 8.6% of Canada’s total labour force, and 33% of the goods-manufacturing sector labour force.
