This Short Subcontractor Agreement is designed for use in Canadian business contexts where a primary contractor needs to engage a subcontractor for specific services or projects. The document serves as a fundamental legal framework for establishing clear business relationships while maintaining compliance with Canadian federal and provincial regulations. It includes essential elements such as scope definition, payment terms, independent contractor status confirmation, and basic legal protections, while remaining concise and practical. This agreement is particularly useful for businesses seeking to quickly implement subcontractor relationships without the complexity of more comprehensive agreements, while still maintaining adequate legal protection. The document is structured to be adaptable across different provinces while incorporating core requirements for subcontractor relationships under Canadian law.
