It's time for the ON Govt to start doing the right thing re homeowners who have not been fairly treated by Tarion.
To start: the Auditor General of ON could audit to find all of those homeowners who have not been treated fairly by Tarion.
Big job, yes. But needed.

They are a brick wall to keep consumers at bay.
They are a brick wall to keep consumers at bay.
The Ministry (PBSD) gets paid very well annually by Tarion to "oversee" Tarion. In 2024 the amount was $654,000.
Why does the Ministry accept this sort of laughable performance measurement for "being a trusted resource" for this "consumer protection" organization?

New homes riddled w/bldg code violations can drag you into a years-long fight to get what you paid for. Many can't stand the stress &give up. Some face illness, family breakdown &bankruptcy. The industry knows how this works. You do not.

According to AI (Grok) "In 2024, the Prime Minister of Canada earned an annual salary of $406,200.....a base MP salary of $203,100 + an additional $203,100 for the role of Prime Minister."
Two Tarion Execs made more than Canada's Prime Minister in 2024.
Tarion has approx. 350 employees.

Who is lobbying for the consumer?
Answer: no one
This is what the industry is doing. They don’t want municipalities interfering.
It’s the muni’s and prov’s job to protect citizens.
They aren’t doing that job. They are working against citizens at the request of their rich builder buddies.

Building code violations threaten the occupants' health and safety.
The building permit you pay for as part of the house price charges you for municipal inspections. If they don't inspect, that's fraud. You're stuck.
WHEN will provinces stop allowing this tyranny on new home buyers?

Is this part of the "build faster" movement in Ontario? Or the "cutting red tape" movement?
Why does the Ontario government continue to turn a blind eye to Code violations?
