Mr. Brooks, you mentioned earlier that it would be interesting to institute legal responsibilities here in Canada, much like we have under the building code.
However, the building code merely contains guidelines, which can be amended and evaluated. It is not an enactment. The provinces are responsible for enacting legislation. Furthermore, if the building code is applied, it is solely because of and by the insurance companies. It is the insurance companies, not governments, that can take credit for these regulations.
It's rather hard to imagine the federal government having the will to install a dual water pipe or waterless urinals. What do you think?
