CMI has worked well in Alberta to set an equal playing field for the industry Mr. Corssar.
I am happy to see you open to " alter my position if something viable and concrete were to come over the horizon."
It is wrong to think that you can adjust to a bias, lobbied regulation or licensing.
If it affects the industry in a negative way. It effects us all.

The attitudes Vern Mitchinson was up against by the association of associations, the government knowing little but willing to learn, is the perfect example.
Voices united can effect change sir.
The CMHC has learned that the association of associations has a questionable tract record and that others associations education, certifications and accreditation have merit, substance and have the right to be heard.
And rightfully so.
Without members investing, speaking out, committing to embitterment of the industry ( OUR CANADIAN INDUSTRY ) you become the follower of what?
We all can contribute in our own way.
Even if it is just 1 hour a week.
Count me in. I will be going after my CMI shortly.
When I can afford it.
Good for you Kevin.
I have ideas we can share cross boarder.
Inter provincially.

oh never mind

To all CMI's of Ontario

Ontario has always been slow to respond for as long as I have been on the earth. 47 Years and still see them 10 years behind. They are followers not leaders. This needs to change in HI for anything to be recognized here. Example first was USGBC then CAGBC next the Ontario government will come up with OGBC Ontario green building council which will copy the Canadian Green Building Council and call it there own.
US is Canada's big brother setting the example first.
Canada is the brother that follows and Ontario is just that little nosy kid that wants to get into the action and make money off anything US comes up with.
Ontario has taken a stride ahead now with the new Ontario Building Code and the first transparent Professional Association of home inspectors. If you have not signed up to OntarioAchi please check the site and see. We will be the most respected association because of our numbers and with a very respected committee we will stay this way.
