I pointed that out as well years ago as well Len.
I was notified that Authority Inspection stickers are longer required on service equipment in Quebec but was never emailed the amendment.
Good thread.
Appears it is getting hijacked by a past and current director of your founded association.

Actually, I came in late - Hence my question.
I honestly don’t see the need for the attack on your reply. It was just a question.
Now another simple question: what does this have to do with me being part of a Franchise? You are trying to cause more trouble than what your friends did-Do you really want to go there?
Honestly, these constant statements from you are getting quite tedious and are nothing more than an attempt to sow discord.
This is not your association or message board to start going on at others.
What is this?
This is a great post and it’s now going to deteriorate into the Robert Young self appreciation society and your usual attacks on another Association? The thread was highjacked by yourself and a couple of others.
Now let’s try this for a change: Either get back to the thread subject or move on to another area.
Regards,
Perhaps a quick inquiry to the ESA about an open job permit is in order…
Robin can probably supply some feedback on requirements.
Pat, I responded to the thread.
I am replying to a retired OntrioACHI board of director that is stalking me and insinuated it will never stop.
He happens to be an ex board of directors of one of the associations you belong to Patrick.
Perhaps you should have done something about this long ago?
So whom is hijacking the thread?
I replied to Len’s thread how many times?
Whom is being bullying and intimidated?
Whom refusing to discuss how past or current board members should act in a public forum?
I have been on the MB for 7 years.
I have seen sterling examples of association board members and their founders disusing all thing home inspections with the highest regard for professionalism.
In one case I have seen the opposite and certainly hope it is corrected shortly.
Best.
Robert Young
Robin?
An InterNACHI member?
Pat, could you introduce Robin to the InterNACHI members?
I am sure they would be happy to hear from an AHJ.
Thanks!
Best.
And what wounds would this be?
You talk about helping InterNachi members yet you pollute the MB with your ramblings.
As for me helping InterNachi members I help ALL inspectors when I can but Not here.
If you watch the Canadian sections you will see that NO one posts here anymore due to you and your friends. Everyone has gone to Facebook where the BS is not permitted.
Even Nick posts there now more then he does here.
You brought me back to this MB with your comments about me.
Now please provide PROOF of the licenses you advertise you have.
Thank you for verifying I removed it.
So why are you insinuating otherwise and stalking me privately and publicly “as well as emailing me” when I continually ask you to stop?
I even told you I will bring this up with the authorities and you mock my requests and the authorities.
All emails have been saved and will be directed to the proper authorities if this continues.
Count on that as an accurate statement Jim Mosiuk!
Jim, just to clarify your conflated allegations once again; Roy Cooke informed me and a correction was made many years ago.
Quebec was about to drop the shoe, Jim.
I was informed that Quebec InterNACHI members would meet all requirements.
So why are you responding here?
Why do you mention to me “This will never stop”
Jim Mosiuk , “when are you going to start helping InterNACHI members?”
You email me and tell me you have filed a police complaint against me and you feel I do not have the right to ask you where you filed it.
Now you say you WILL file a complaint against me.
Once again another lie from Robert Young of Montreal Home Inspection Services
You approved your advertising of being Licensed by the Government when no such license exists.
Once caught you remove it and you think this makes it OK
In your advertising now you state you have an InterNachi License.
There are almost 20,000 inspectors here and Robert Young of Montreal Home Inspection Sevices is the only one Licensed by InterNachi.
You have proven that you continue to have false advertising.
You bring my name up on this MB and ask why i respond here?
You might want to rethink that one.
Please forward this to the police so they can start an investigation into you falsely advertising to the general public.
Have a Great day
Jim
I wonder who wrote this one?
I hope I have Robert’s blessings to post here!
Back to the subject at hand - PDI’s.
FYI: PDI is a term (more of an acronym) coined by Tarion. It is actually misreferenced by many home inspectors of the work performed by the “Tarion builders” representative, and not the home inspector. In discussions held with Tarion at the time it was noted and recommended by the builders that a name change should be considered.
In a number of studies done with Tarion reviewing and developing a home inspectors protocol it was commonly identified as a “New Construction Inspection”, hence NCI.
It appears that while in consultations and reviews the Builders may have wanted a name change, that thought appears to have been ignored by TARION.
http://www.tarion.com/builders/building-homes-and-condos/Pages/The-Pre-Delivery-Inspection.aspx
I Quote: “The minimum customer service standard allows a purchaser to attend the PDI with a designate or appoint a designate to attend the PDI in his/her place. There is no restriction as to who the designate may be, so a professional home inspector or any other person is permitted to attend the PDI either with the purchaser or in their place as a designate.”
The highlighting of the Professional Home Inspector term is mine.
Thanks Len, now we are getting back on track! I don’t discount what you stated.
Again the point raised was it’s still the builders PDI, and it permits the identified appointee or designate to attend that event. A PDI, is not really intended as a private home inspectors inspection, it is intended to be the builders “inspection with the soon to be home owner”.
I agree, the principle of the PDI is to allow the builder to explain the workings of the home, and the TARION Warranty, but it is also the final opportuinty for the buyer to say, whoa! This isn’t what I signed up for!
In my experience the stuff is thrown at buyers so fast by the Builders rep, who often glosses over some fairly serious issues (see above photos for example) that the unsuspecting buyer just agrees.
I’ve performed around 60 PDI inspections, plus around 150 1 and 2 Year Warranty Inspections, and in each case have ended up batting for my client against a builder or Tarion who just wanted to fudge the paperwork and get through without any accountability.
Hopefully the new ONHWP and the revamped Tarion will be better.
The problem with the PDI is that the buyers at this point in time are pretty much committed. If the buyer puts a halt on the proceedings because of a builders deficiencies, there’s no consumer protection to offset the buyers costs while they wait for the builder to remedy BEFORE they close the deal.
We are frequently warned about duress, but it appears builders are allowed to use whatever duress they feel appropriate in order to get their (sometimes shoddy) products sold.
Jim, I advertise in a police magazine.
They came to me after doing research.
Been vetted by authorities on the subject, Jim.
And yourself prior to closing, ops, retiring?
