Yes, absolutely. That's exactly what we're calling for. We're calling for a pause on building codes, and we're not alone in this. We were talking about international examples earlier. Australia has already done it. Australia has already said, “We need a pause on changes to the building code as it affects housing in particular, because things are getting too expensive, and we're going too far, too fast.”
When we look at the 2025 code, we think it's really important that we take a pause, look at it and say there are some important things in that code around health, safety, corrections and those sorts of things that need to be done, but there are a bunch of other things that are adding a lot of cost for not a lot of return right now. Those things should be put on hold. Let's find better ways to do them and then put in place a code that isn't going to drive up the cost of housing at a time when we can't afford it.
