In 2021, Ontario's Home Construction Regulatory Authority took over licensing and regulation of new home sellers in the province, leaving Tarion to adjudicate warranty disputes only between buyers and sellers. As the enforcer of homebuilder licensing requirements and watchdog for violations of the law and good conduct, CEO Wendy Moir has the sometimes challenging task of ensuring professional and aboveboard behaviour in our industry. She joins The Hammer to explain the HCRA's role, outline her approach to the regulatory enforcement and share her insights from many years of seeing it all in the construction industry.
