qUEBEC INACHI inspector need help!

[ROBERT V. YOUNG]

I am asking for all INACHI members to sign this petition so our industry stays focused on aiding the client. Not the realtor.
Thank you.
The grievance: This is the association AIBQ and the QOPT ( Order of Professional Technologists ) which does not even list Home Inspection as one of its categories, will regulate the HI industry (pre-purchase only) in Québec. So there are 2 fronts here, one having to do with a semi-governmental regulatory body (OACIQ) and the other with a Professional Order created under - and subject to - the laws of the Québec Professional Code.
If no opposition is undertaken by any and all inspectors and inspector associations, it basically will severely restrict the practice to very select group, to say the least. This is scheduled to become effective January 15 2012. hat the grievance is about.

Please add your name.
I will be sending in a petition to the QOPT and other regulatory bodies in Quebec.
It can happen in your state or province.
Thank you for helping the home inspection industry stay focused.
No one association should be singled out.
We all have our merits to separate our abilities..

Thanks for the heads up Robert, Personally, I do not believe that this will happen as it would mean that all AIBQ (Who may ne insurable) and who still call themselves inspectors would have to report to QOPT for every inspection approval and this means that inspection fees could blow out of proportion.

The official reason, according to the groups is "the inspectors' desire to become professionals". The "Tekkies" who are now involved in pre-purchase inspections have an atrocious claims against record and pay skyrocketing rates!

I'm betting that it won't fly.
