So have you heard the latest? The Government has introduced Bill 150, the Green Energy Act. Part of this act would make a home energy audit mandatory for all home sales. These audits can cost home sellers thousands of dollars in lost home equity. Those with less than ideal energy audit ratings will face pressure from home buyers to either spend thousands of dollars to improve the energy rating of their home or lower the sale price to allow the buyer to make the recommended changes.
You can do something to stop this. Join the Realtors in Ontario in urging the provincial government to amend Bill 150, to make home energy audits voluntary. Your email will reinforce the message OREA will be sending to the Government of Ontario when we appear before the Standing Committee on General Government on April 22, 2009.
Pleaes tell you MPP that the government should be helping Ontarians achieve their dream of homeownership by amending Bill 150 to make home energy audits voluntary.
Send an e-mail to your MPP on this issue now. Go to http://www.orea.com/consumermhea to send your letter now!
Should you receive a response from your MPP, please forward a copy to governmentrelations@orea.com or via fax at 416-445-2644 to the attention of the Government Relation Department.
Have your say in how the government is controlling the dollars coming out of your pocket!

I wont get into this too much because you are obviously very ignorant. this will create hundreds, if not thousands of jobs, give home buyers some comfort during the single biggest purchase of their life, create a shift in the way we think about using energy, and the cost to home owners is about 150$. wake up you slimy realtor
