Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you to both the witnesses for being here today.
During this study, we have heard that most building code changes drive up the price of homebuilding and that those added costs can make it difficult for home builders to innovate or to consider using new technologies.
Mr. Smith, I'll start with you.
You had mentioned that the government could harmonize standards within code. I'm just wondering if you have any other suggestions for what the government could do to ensure that affordability and cost-effectiveness are factored into building codes.
Is there anything else, other than harmonization?
