Thanks to ON's NDP for this. CPBH has been analyzing homeowner outcomes re LAT decisions related to Tarion since 2006 & homeowners lose about 85% of the time. Most homeowners won't go to the LAT anymore to fight Tarion. @kristynwongtam.bsky.social #onpoli

Most don't understand Ontario's Delegated Administrative Authority (DAA) model. Ontario's DAAs provide a cash cow to the Ontario Government via the mandated "oversight fees". Here's a post from one consumer about the Ontario Govt's DAAs. #onpoli

Time is long overdue for the ON ministry now called Public & Business Service Delivery & Procurement to be held accountable for its ineffective oversight of Ontario's DAAs- #RECO, #Tarion, #HCRA, on & on. Where have those millions of $ related to DAA "oversight" gone since 2009? #onpoli

There's lots of mainstream media attention these days to #RECO. RECO is a DAA- like Tarion & HCRA. Ontario's DAAs don't adequately protection consumers. CPBH has been raising concerns about DAAs for many years. Here's a link to a presentation: canadiansforproperlybuilthomes.com/wp-content/u...

Almost 50 yrs of complaints about the organization now called Tarion. In the Wynne era: ➡️there were Tarion whistleblowers ➡️the Cunningham Review calling for the end of Tarion's monopoly. What's it going to take for the Ford Govt to deal with the Tarion problem? #onpoli

From today's Queen's Park Observer: "..LOBBY LIST Here are the new, renewed and amended registrations over the past 24 hours:... Richard Ositashvili, StrategyCorp: Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association, Claridge (Gladstone)" #Onpoli

CPBH is very pleased that there is a seat for a consumer advocate at this important table. Karen is very happy to serve on this committee. Thank you again, Natural Resources Canada! #cdnpoli #newlybuilthomes #consumerprotection

Considering a newly built home in Ontario? Tarion & HCRA are Delegated Administrative Authorities (DAAs) that are supposed to be providing consumer protection. The costs of these DAAs increase the cost of housing in ON. #BuyerBeware #affordablehomes #NewlyBuiltHomes #onpoli

Before the 2018 ON election, the Ontario PC Party supported ending Tarion's monopoly. But after it was elected, the Ford gov't changed its mind. Why are Ontario's new home purchasers still stuck with monopoly Tarion, Min. Stephen Crawford? #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

We recently received notice from the LAT of a continuation of a public hearing. CPBH sends our best wishes to Sohaila Sue Hemati! #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

Dear Min. Stephen Crawford - you have an opportunity to address Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) board issues. The person holding the board chair position is key. Current Chair, Mr. Young, has been another disappointment, following Ms. Rappolt's disappointing performance. #onpoli

What does this tell you about HCRA? #onpoli #buyerbeware

ON's Delegated Administrative Authority model does not protect consumers adequately. eg: Have you been following the RECO scandal, the HCRA scandal or what's been allowed to go on with Tarion for almost 50 years? Real estate broker Nina Deeb raises an excellent question! #onpoli

Another Ontario homeowner fighting Tarion at the LAT! This is a public hearing. CPBH sends our best wishes to Mudit Swaroop! #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

Given the length of time scheduled for this public hearing, it looks like there are probably many issues. We get feedback from observers that even tuning in for a few hours is typically eye-opening. CPBH sends our best wishes to Sohaila Sue Hemati! #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

Moves like this by household insurance companies are more common than most realize. #CodeViolations #EnforceTheCode #NewlyBuiltHomes #HouseholdInsurance #Insurance #BuyerBeware #InsuranceCancelation

CPBH volunteers recently met with an official in the Canadian Federal Government & provided this feedback re the full delivery chain and factory-built housing. Please take the lead on this @gregorrobertson.bsky.social . #FactoryBuiltHousing #housing #FullDeliveryChain #cdnpoli #ConsumerProtection

Tarion's homeowner survey asks mostly softball questions. Then Tarion execs/board flaunt the results as a measure of how great Tarion is. The ministry that forces Tarion to pay it for "oversight" (Public and Business Service Delivery) allows this survey to continue. #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

This is an on-line public hearing involving an Ontario new home purchaser and the mandatory monopoly Tarion. CPBH sends our best wishes to Jindou Zhang. #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

Over on LinkedIn, Tarion is boasting about another award as a top employer. Meanwhile, many new home purchasers are highly dissatisfied with Tarion’s services. Most of Tarion’s funding comes from mandatory payments from new home purchasers. #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

This happens far too often. The public needs to be informed. CPBH sends our best wishes to the Beaudoin family. #EnforceTheCode #mould #mold #Windsor #onpoli #BuyerBeware

Follow the money. #NeverVoteConservative #onpoli #FightFord #FordIsCorrupt #SaveOntario #FordFailedOntario #OntarioSky

The Ministry Public and Business Service Delivery gets paid to oversee HCRA. Why is it allowing this to continue? #nousedfurnaces #newlybuilthomes #onpoli

Is it any wonder that homeowners are confused about how Tarion handles project management fees? Where's the transparency and accountability from Tarion? And what's Tarion's relationship with Burkes Restoration? #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #ProjectManagementFees #onpoli

CPBH has been hearing about heart-breaking situations involving #factorybuilt housing for many years now. #Sweden has addressed this. Canada must as well. #consumerprotection #cdnpoli

#EndTarionMonopolyNOW #ConflictOfInterest #Tarion #Ombuds #onpoli

Ontario's Delegated Administrative Authority (DAA) model has never adequately protected Ontario's consumers. Why is the Ontario Government allowing this to continue? #onpoli

Why is the Ford Gov't allowing this to continue? #onpoli #consumerprotection

Another disaster involving Home Construction Regulatory Authority - HCRA. Another example that Ontario Delegated Administrative Authorities (DAAs) don't protect consumers. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #onpoli

More conversations....many people have no idea how serious building code violations are. Most homeowners who contact CPBH say that Code violations have been confirmed in their newly built home. #EnforceTheCode #NewlyBuiltHomes

#EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

It's not too late Premier Ford to #EndTarionMonopolyNOW - for the people. #onpoli #BrokenPromise

November is "Radon Action Month". Recent news out of New Brunswick - this province is providing free radon tests. Even if you have to pay for the radon tests - Please get your home tested. This testing saves lives. #Radon #LungCancer #NewBrunswick

Here's another day for this homeowner to fight Tarion at the LAT. CPBH sends our best wishes to Ipandeep Kaur Hayar. #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

Good morning - especially to those homeowners fighting their builder/warranty provider. We know that it's hard. #YouAreNotAlone #Resilience

Response to this message from CPBH on Facebook from Dawn Miscio Boyle: "Imagine having your furnace fail three times in four years in your newly built dream home…"

Another homeowner who is fighting Tarion at the LAT. CPBH sends Bridget O'Neill our best wishes! #EndTarionMonopolyNOW #onpoli

CBC's Marketplace segment this week involves the lack of consumer protection in Ontario. The words quoted from Premier Doug Ford ring hollow. #onpoli #consumerprotection

Here's the link: canadiansforproperlybuilthomes.com/what-weve-le... #newlybuilthomes #health #homes

Tarion says that customer service gestures are "rare" but CPBH has heard from a number of homeowners who have received them. They go back decades - a 2013 Toronto Star article referred to them as "goodwill gestures". But Tarion continues to keep its policy secret. #onpoli
