How does it make any sense. It is 100% up to the contractor to pay the subcontractor. Why would the owner be responsible for paying out the subcontractor? He has already paid for the work.
Anyway, doesn't matter to me. I am not hiring anybody. I am not sure what the solution for me will be. Maybe I need to get past this thought that everybody is a crook. lol

It's odd legislation with a weird history. I don't think anyone - owners, contractors, subcontractors - are particularly happy with the way it works.
