Many of you are familiar with Bill McConnell’s State of the Industry report that he has presented for the past 16 years, focused on the United States economy and the construction market. Given the evolving Canadian surety market and our knowledge of the landscape, we felt it was an opportune time to compile a presentation to address the Canadian construction and surety industries.

The presentation covers Andrew’s evaluation of the Canadian Economy, the Construction Industry, and the Canadian Surety Industry.
