Objectives of CARM
1. To provide services to rural-based
construction companies and allied
businesses that are tailored to best meet
their needs, given the unique conditions
under which these rural firms function.
Further, to ensure that these services
and programs meet or exceed standards
normally set for such services or programs.
2. To provide for the timely exchange of
information between the buyers and
sellers of construction services and
between the various parties involved in the
construction process.
3. To promote better understanding of the
construction process by consumers, and
better communication between buyers and
sellers, with the aim of assuring fair and
equitable treatment for all concerned.
4. To gather facts on issues that affect the
construction industry and to determine
particularly what implications these issues
hold for the rural-based contractor.
5. To allow for a forum to consider these
issues and to enable individual contractors’
input, while arriving at a consensus position
to be put forth on behalf of the rural
construction industry.
6. To conduct such forums – whether they’re
focus sessions held in a specific location
or interactive surveys conducted by the
association – in a manner that will allow
contractors to participate.
7. Having gathered the facts, discussed the
issues involved, and having arrived at
a consensus position, to represent that
position to the government (or other)
body involved.
8. To keep rural contractors informed about
proposed legislation and the potential
effect it will have upon them.
9. To represent the position of the rural
construction industry to government,
and to its departments and agencies
such as the Department of Labour,
Employment Standards, Rural Construction
Wages Board, Workplace Safety and
Health, Workers’ Compensation Board,
Apprenticeship Manitoba, Manitoba
Housing Renewal Corporation, Manitoba
Hydro, etc.
10. To represent the rural construction
industry and its individual practitioners,
to governments at the local level, always
bearing in mind, however, that on matters
of a purely local nature, the association will
become involved only at the request of the
local company or companies involved.
11. To recommend to various government
agencies the names of individuals who
would reflect the viewpoint of the rural
construction industry to fill CARM board or
committee positions.
