TARION HAD KNOWN OF THE ISSUES FOR YEARS... AS IT HAD BEEN CC:ED ON THE PEO WARNING LETTER ISSUED IN 2007 AND WARNING OF
A PROBLEM IN THE TRUSS INDUSTRY!!!
The "redefinition" happened well after the government KNEW of the "industry-wide" problems I had brought to their attention in the files, the flood of emails and the numerous calls I had already given to top administrators/legislators/enforcement bodies in these issues!
THE BIG QUESTION!!!
Would builders be held liable for major structural defects enforcement bodies could have prevented had they done their job? In our case, we were "the builders" as well as the homeowners... and in our "kangaroo court", we were NOT held liable at all for the major structural defect resulting from no fault of our own... so even though ours was a "kangaroo court" where not a single argument was heard... not a single question asked... and where the engineer who sealed our trusses had "all claims against him dismissed" [even though not a single comment was made or heard by the court, in my opinion, because the engineer who sealed our trusses was a very high powered engineer [the Chief Engineer at Alpine Systems and a TECHNICAL and voting member of the Truss Plate Institute of Canada]... even so... perhaps our "trial" was a precedent of sorts anyway... since we... the builders WON anyway... even though the court, in my opinion, further victimized us by hitting us with a $5,000.00 fine for having dared to "waste the court's time" by forcing this to trial rather than settling out of court!!!
