Anyways, I am willing to bet that they either have not thought of that in their haste, or have and intentionally left that out for some reason. The rules are just really strange and do little to benefit the taxpayer or homeowner.

On that injury front, that one I doubt they have thought of or care about. It is all PR for the rest of Alberta who did not flood appear they are on top of things. As usual it is working as I have yet to see any negative media on these mitigation rules.
Sounds to me like the rules actually harm the taxpayer.
