Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member’s statement today, I talked about lack of consumer protection in the area of new home warranties, whether you buy a new home, whether it’s a modular or a condo or whatnot. But, Mr. Speaker, in essence, the consumer is being left unprotected. And, of course, as I said earlier, the only remedy, really, that is provided for you are things like the courts.
Mr. Speaker, my question would be directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs because he is in charge of the area of consumer protection. So this may first hit his doorstep as an issue. Perhaps it could end up elsewhere within the government, but the issue is: Would the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs look into an initiative that would help develop a new policy, perhaps maybe new legislation, somewhat built on
other jurisdictions, that provide that type of warranty for the new home purchase? Thank you.
