The labour and service shortage is not going away

Geoff Smith believes it will now be increasingly harder to recruit skilled workers due to rising costs and affected supply chains. He shares his perspective in a profile interview with the Financial Post before ending his term as CEO of EllisDon.

“The big shocks that hit our industry last year are behind us but it’s still pretty expensive to build out there because of the  (labour) shortages. The supply chain stuff has now been solved and has been worked out just like it has been in other industries. It’s the labour and services shortage that’s not going away.”
