Perhaps you should do some more BASIC research and then you'd quickly realize that as an example in BC, BCBC 2024 has recently approved CLT for use in construction of buildings up to 18 stories, where in Alberta the Alberta Building Code aligns with the 2020 NBC code which only approved CLT for buildings up to 6 stories, and as far as I know Alberta hasn't even adopted the 2024 NBC update which allowed construction up to 12 stories.

Also, unlike BC, Alberta hasn’t introduced province-specific amendments to push mass timber heights beyond the NBC, though this could change with growing industry pressure.

Other provinces might also follow NBC 2025, and are still not on par with what BC is doing.

Beyond that modular home construction is great, but similar restrictions to how it is built still exist from province to province.

Plus, CLT construction is often limited by production of the product.

BC is at the forefront because companies like Kalesnikoff, Structurlam, Mercer Mass Timber & StructureCraft Builders Inc have been producing CLT in province for years.

In comparison, I don't think there are any companies at the same production level in Alberta, Sask & Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador. In case you didn't know, transportation costs to get the panels on site, along with the expertise of the manufacturer is actually important. I guess living in Liberal la la land things like these are not actually a problem.

But hey, your dear leader Carney said CLT is the future so it must be true!
Funny how things work in the world of Liberal delusions.

Why do you force yourself to be such an idiot just to take partisan shots? In "la la land" it would make economic sense for these Canadian companies with experience and expertise to setup be factories in eastern Canada, and wherever else it is better than shipping.


You've been talking this stuff up for years, and now that a Liberal is proposing these ideas you can't #### on them fast enough. Here's a hint. Mark isn't Justin.
