Your response is sought before August 31, 2002.

The intent of this study is to determine a means to assure that contradictions between the requirements of the NBC and the Nova Scotia Building Code Regulations (NSBCR) are removed. It is the intent that the two sets of requirements be uniform in their intent and application. It is the intent that this project determine a harmony between these two sets of requirements which will be sustainable given limited resources to maintain the Regulations.
