The proposal to skip the 2015 editions and adopt the 2020 editions would impact the building, plumbing, fire and energy codes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2020 national model codes are key to Manitoba industry and affect a number of businesses, particularly in the areas of accessibility and energy efficiency,\u201d said the province\u2019s labour and immigration minister, Jon Reyes. \u201cThese codes affect the province\u2019s trade relations, industry costs and economic competitiveness, so our government is working hard to consult with Manitobans to ensure we are reflecting the best interests of industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Commitments under the Canadian Free Trade Agreement require that the Manitoba Building Code, Manitoba Plumbing Code, Manitoba Energy Code and Manitoba Fire Code are updated regularly to ensure compliance with the latest health and safety standards. Bypassing the 2015 edition would bring Manitoba under the most current building codes faster, in line with other provinces.<\/p>\n<p>Updating the codes earlier than mandated and providing sufficient notice of an early 2024 adoption will give industry time to gain familiarity with the new codes and will be an important step forward in harmonizing codes with other provinces, the minister said.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed plan is to have the 2020 model codes come into effect for industry in early 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Proposed amendments to Manitoba\u2019s construction codes will be posted for consultation until June 26.
