N.L.'s hot housing market has some buyers forgoing home inspections
As prospective home buyers feel the squeeze of a hot housing market in Newfoundland and Labrador, some are skipping home inspections that are meant to protect them. Jerry Boyles, an agent with Royal LePage Property Consultants, said home inspections are an "essential component" to the real estate sector, which lets the buyers know the pros and cons of the property they are interested in. But in the current hot market, which is geared toward the seller, Boyles said he is seeing more cases of people going without. "I'm certainly dealing with it all the time. I have several on the go right now," he told CBC News. For example, if a house receives dozens of bids, Boyles said an interested party who waives the home inspection might be more attractive to the seller as there's less risk to them. "When we're doing an offer in a multiple-bidding situation or competitive scenario, there's only so many things we can control," he said. Those factors include offering more money, changing the contract terms and conditions as well as the issue of a home inspection. Boyles said one of the roles of a real estate agent is to discuss with their client their level of motivation — how badly they want the house — and sometimes to secure a house it could mean not getting the inspection. "I think in a position where I don't need to buy a home, naturally it's easy to say that I would never waive an inspection," he said. WATCH | The housing market is hot, but don't get burned, warns a home inspector: He said everyone needs a home inspection, but that doesn't necessarily mean they get one. "There's certain elements of due diligence there that are being skipped as a by-product of the client motivation and of the market's craziness," Boyles said. Mike Guihan, a registered home inspector and owner of Guardsman Inspections Canada Inc., has been doing home inspections for decades. He said he has seen mould in attics, windows rotting out, improper ventilation and homes he isn't sure of how they are still standing. "We see just about everything, and of course every time I think I've seen everything, I'll find something new," he said. Guihan said people avoiding a home inspection isn't new and that can be driven by the market. But, he said, they're still worth getting. "It's protection. That's what it's all about" he said. "Home inspection is the ultimate form of consumer protection." Guihan said he "absolutely" believes there are people going without home inspections in the current market, and he's heard of homes selling for more than $80,000 over the asking price. However, all home inspectors aren't equal, and an inspection isn't guaranteed to ensure a buyer is informed about the home's condition. CBC News previously reported on Tiffany Elton, who had an inspection but ended up having to tear down her St. John's home because it turned out to be a converted garage with fire damage. Guihan said if someone gets an inspection report and it turns out to be poorly done, they can go to the courts. But that costs money. He said home inspectors aren't provincially regulated, something he'd like to see change. Ultimately, Boyles said clients should be patient with the house hunting process and try to avoid being in the position where they need to find a home quickly. "Sometimes there's deaths, financial situations, sometimes there's divorces. These situations can't be avoided," he said. "But if you can plan to put yourself in a position where you don't have to move, then you're giving yourself the runway, we'll say metaphorically, to be able to make a decision on your own terms."

Building Canada Act leaves much open to interpretation on Indigenous consultation, says lawyer
An Anishinaabe lawyer says "fuller," "meaningful" engagement needs to happen with Indigenous Peoples if the federal government wants to make the right decisions on projects under the new Building Canada Act. Sara Mainville, a partner at JFK Law and former chief of Couchiching First Nation in northwestern Ontario, said under the Building Canada Act, once a project is deemed in the national interest, it would be difficult to roll it back. The act was passed last week and aims to speed up projects of national interest, including energy development projects, by allowing special designated projects to bypass some federal laws. Mainville said under the legislation, Indigenous groups potentially impacted by a project should be part of the process deciding if it is in fact of national interest. "They have to make the right decision each and every time," said Mainville. "They could only do that with fuller engagement, meaningful engagement with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people." The bill says that among factors that may be considered in deciding if a project is within the nation's interest are whether it advances "the interests of Indigenous peoples" and if it contributes "to clean growth and to meeting Canada's objectives with respect to climate change." Mainville said this leaves a lot to be interpreted. "Advancement of Indigenous interests is such generic language, like what does that mean in a real way?" she said. "This is really going to be for the courts to decide, unfortunately, unless there's some real markers put in place." Mainville said if processes are not in the legislation, there's no guarantee they will happen. "This idea of 'just trust us, we're gonna get this right,' it's asking too much of First Nations with real interests in this area that potentially is going to be impacted by this pipeline," said Mainville. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith spoke to CBC Radio's The Early Edition Wednesday about reviving a plan to build a pipeline to bring oilsands crude to B.C.'s north coast for export to Asia, with the endpoint in Prince Rupert, B.C. An organization representing the Gitga'at, Gitxaała, Haida, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo Xai'Xais, Metlakatla, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv First Nations told CBC Indigenous last week that they wouldn't be in favour of any new pipelines in their region. Smith said on The Early Edition that bitumen, the type of petroleum mined in the oil sands, is the single most valuable product in Alberta, worth about $9 trillion. "No one leaves $9 trillion in the ground; we have to find a way to get it to market," said Smith. Smith said it would be essential for any linear infrastructure project to have Indigenous ownership across the line. "I would just ask for people to have an open mind and see that if we can identify the issues that are causing concern, work through them one at a time, I think that we would be stronger as a country," said Smith. Rashid Sumaila, a professor at the University of British Columbia and Canada research chair in interdisciplinary oceans and fisheries economics, studies the overall cost of projects like pipelines on society, taking into account impacts on the environment and societal implications now and for future generations. In 2012, Sumaila estimated that a major oil spill cleanup on B.C.'s North Coast could cost up to $9.6 billion, and cost the region's commercial fisheries, port, ferry transportation and tourism industries more than $300 million. Sumaila said other costs are intangible, like the impact on First Nations culture if there is a reduction in salmon. "What's the value of that? That doesn't go into the big company calculations," said Sumaila. Sumaila said there are benefits to projects like pipelines in the short term, like profit and jobs for individuals, but the long term negative costs are usually left to the larger society to deal with. "I think we need to zoom really sharply on the fact that there's usually a disconnect between those who gain and those who bear the cost," said Sumaila. Mainville said cumulative impact is a tool First Nations in B.C. could potentially use to stop unwanted resource developments. A B.C. Supreme Court decision in 2021 found that cumulative impacts of extensive industrial resource development unjustifiably infringed on Blueberry River First Nations' treaty rights, leaving its members unable to exercise their rights on much of their traditional territory. As a result the court ordered the province to prohibit further development in the area that would infringe on Blueberry First Nations' treaty rights. "Similar thing can happen along these coastal regions where there's just too much development," said Mainville. The federal government has said the prime minister will meet with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis in the coming weeks, with the first meeting happening on July 17 with First Nations.
