Buyers are still forced to do business with the #Monopoly Tarion? Why? #onpoli .Toronto Mike Episode 1025
Barbara Captijn Home Construction Regulatory Authority Less “education information for consumers” & more HCRA ENFORCEMENT. It’s in #HCRA’s mandate to protect consumers. It’s not the buyer’s responsibility to be educated to protect themselves from bad builders!?
.Todd McCarthy Another #housing risk gov't agency Tarion isn't fixing. Yes, compensate victims, but not with other home buyers' money. Where's original $90 million in deposits? This risk should be for real warranty co's, not other new home buyers. #TarionReview Ron Butler
Todd McCarthy Daisy Wai Dear Min. McCarthy - Many are wondering what you are doing to protect homeowners re the ongoing & serious issues with HCRA & Tarion. We sent you a big package today via email (which will go via Registered Mail tomorrow) re .Home Construction Regulatory Authority's annual report. #onpoli
Todd McCarthy David Piccini Adrian Foster Kinga Surma to consumers desperately needing help related to their newly built home. Regularly .@cpbh01 hears fm Ontarians for whom the dream of homeownership has become a nightmare. Currently we are trying to help a homeowner who has recently told Tarion that they have considered suicide.
Both regulators Tarion + HCRA are too late. Should be proactive, not reactive. No enrolment, no license? Then you can't collect purchaser deposits. Tarion isn't licensed to provide warranties: it's the builder's warranty they administer. Ontario Construction News ontarioconstructionnews.com/hamilton-build…
I asked Home Construction Regulatory Authority why they say they've had a good year when their Annual Report says unlicensed buiding increased 87% last yr. How is that protecting consumers? What other regulatory body allows so many unlicensed practitioners? What's the plan? #Tarion Todd McCarthy #onpoli
My question to Home Construction Regulatory Authority CEO + Board Chair at Annual Meeting yesterday. How's it possible HCRA can't stop builders building without a license? Their predecessor #Tarion also failed. What other regulator can't enforce its own laws? Something amiss here Todd McCarthy #onpoli
Barbara Captijn Home Construction Regulatory Authority Todd McCarthy Yes, I asked if they are captured by the very industry they are supposed to regulate and they did not answer that question.
Thank-you Tom Rakocevic 👏👏 Builder DNA’s are being ignored by Home Construction Regulatory Authority even though it’s against their Code of Ethics. We expect Builders to obey rules and Codes of Ethics. If there's no enforcement, there's no deterrent. Can't Buy My Silence Todd McCarthy Chandra Pasma
Latest #Tarion Google Reviews. Nothing has changed. In 2019 the Auditor General ON Special Audit stated 65 % of cases between 2014 and 2018, Builders failed to fix problems that should have been covered by the Tarion warranty. Todd McCarthy #onpoli
Interesting. Tarion and Home Construction Regulatory Authority regulators schmoozing with their regulatees at OHBA gala. While homebuyer questions were shut down to 20 min at HCRA/Tarion annual meetings, and many emails remain unanswered. Auditor General ON warned against this in 2019. Consumer Protection Ontario
Why is Minister Todd McCarthy attending a builder lobby gala, with Tarion/HCRA top execs, while they cut off homebuyer questions at HCRA/Tarion annual mtgs to 20 min? Only a pre-recorded message too. Auditor General ON warned against these cozy relationships in 2019. Toronto Star
.Toronto Star Will any brown envelopes be circulating there? Many ministers of Doug Ford and his agencies HCRA + Tarion will be high profile guests. Attendees asked not to raise "criticism" in their questions to ministers. Consumer Protection Ontario #onpoli
Barbara Captijn CPBH Todd McCarthy Home Construction Regulatory Authority Exactly!! Shouldn’t Auditor General ON be reviewing the lack of unbiased consumer advocacy on the board of Home Construction Regulatory Authority ?
