It is widely recognized that there are benefits to Canada's economy, and to the construction industry in particular, from uniformity of the country's building and fire code requirements. The National Building and Fire Codes were created with such benefits in mind, and to a great extent have been successful in achieving them. Some jurisdictions, for example, have established their own comprehensive provincial and municipal code review processes in order to consult with their stakeholders and address regional issues. This study, now underway, may result in fundamental changes to the code development process in Canada. The Task Group welcomes comments on the above and suggestions on additional issues to be discussed, as well as any recommended solutions.
All meetings are open to the public.
