LONGUEUIL, Que. — AQMAT’s Richard Darveau has announced his resignation as chair of the Canadian Retail Building Supply Council, citing differences over the organization’s direction. “Trying to act and talk as a unified voice when there are five founding resources with more differences … than common ground is too heavy a task in comparison with thin and slow results,” he said in a statement. The CRBSC was founded as an umbrella of provincial and regional building supply dealers’ groups, including the ABSDA, LBMAO, WRLA, and BSIA. The collective goal of the CRBSC is to formalize industry concerns at the national level. AQMAT’s board, meeting at the beginning of June, will consider how the Quebec body can respond to federal and international advocacy needs directly.
