Warranty plan seen for house buyers
Ottawa News: Urban Affairs Minister Ron Basford outlined a national warranty system for home purchasers to be announced in a few months. The plan would fund completion of homes via a mortgage insurance fund if builders go bankrupt, while amendments to the National Housing Act aim to boost planning, aid low income buyers, and preserve old districts. Conservatives back the bill for study. New Democrats remain skeptical and oppose the legislation in its present form.

The move followed a Toronto memo about job vacancy criteria that MPs said favored unemployment insurance recipients, prompting calls for the memo to be tabled and for clarifications from Andras and deputy minister Jacques Desroches.
