What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This geopolitical event could indirectly affect Canadian contractors by impacting global oil markets, which may influence material costs and supply chain dynamics. For Canadian builders working with Venezuelan clients or those relying on materials from the region, this situation may require adjustments to timelines and budgets due to potential instability.
