Very soon, the Liberal Government of Ontario will pass Bill 150. If this bill is passed in its current form, and you plan to sell or lease your house or an apartment in the future, you will have to get “an energy audit” of your property done by one of about 450 licensed energy auditors active in Ontario. The cost is about $300-$400 for this. Then, there will be more expenses waiting for you, the owner of the property, in the form of fixing the “deficiencies” found during the “energy audit”. That can add up to a substantial sum of money depending on the condition and age of your property. This unintended consequence will cause an untold hardship to those in our society who can afford it the least - senior citizens and low income families. Some of them may be unable to sell their homes as a result of this legislation.
