Leaky Condo Crisis

OTTAWA - The NDP today called on the government to fulfill the Conservative Party's 2006 election promise for a review of the largest and costliest construction crisis in Canadian history - BC's leaky condo crisis - and implement the Barrett Commission Inquiry's recommendation for financial relief.

Carmen Maretic, President of Consumer Advocacy and Support for Homeowners (CASH) Society was joined by six NDP MPs: Dawn Black (New Westminster-Coquitlam), Libby Davies (Vancouver East), Peter Julian (Burnaby-New Westminster), Penny Priddy (Surrey North), Bill Siksay (Burnaby-Douglas) and NDP Housing Critic Irene Mathyssen (London-Fanshawe). The group demanded that the new Federal Housing Minister, Monte Solberg, keep the Conservative campaign promise and act immediately.
