Kevin,
From what I understand Alberta did not research into the background facts of CMI, they were told and took as facts what CMI was supposedly to be.
Also it has also been admitted by those that sat in on the licensing committee set up by the Alberta Government, that any input by the two or three associations at the table that advice/input from the professionals at the table were completely ignored in the final licencing act, and dependent on who one speaks to the licencing is a farce and is actually to restrictive and not necessarily what is best for the profession.
Kevin perhaps you could explain to me how the CMI board deals with complaints from members of the public?
As you also know I and others have been openly critical of the Nat. Cert. program and the issues that surfaced with it.
The industry in Canada at least in Ont. is more fractured now with competing designations and associations than it ever was.
What is required is the profession to have one voice, with a blend of both worlds as far as association requirements.
I know for a fact licensing is not on the radar for our provincial government and likely will not be for sometime into the foreseeable future.
Stats indicate contrary to others trying to promote otherwise that there is NOT a huge problem within the inspection profession.
Even the stats presented on the Nat. Cert. site indicate the problem has been over stated as well as BBB stats, and case law, given the number of home sale transactions each year in Canada.
