1.1 - yes I would support the use of a digital code.
1.2 - However, in practice how would that work in an exam setting with only one monitor allowed. Would only one version of the code be allowed (either the digital or paper copy) or would using both at the same time be allowed? In reality, both versions are used by a lot of people on a regular basis in an office setting.
The time factor could be an issue as depending on whether the search feature is used for the digital version, it could be faster to find the relevant sections.
1.3 - clear guidelines for the testing environment would have to be laid out for the use of the digital code and how it will be monitored

2.1 - support the additional time for each question - in practice, there is not a time limit to find an answer to a code question, and also other resources are available (colleagues, etc.) to consult on code issues or interpretations that may come up. The current time limit does not accurately reflect a person's code knowledge, but rather a person's ability to be able to take a test well.
2.2 - Knowing people with anxiety issues to do with test taking, not sure what can be done for those people who have the necessary code knowledge, but do not test well (but do not necessarily have a background with paperwork to back it up). Perhaps an accommodation for unlimited time to take the pressure off?

3.1 - I think pre-qualification training could be beneficial, as long as it expands on knowledge and does not simply go through word for word what is in some of the exam training manuals.
Depending on the level of experience already acquired by an applicant, and the potential cost of taking the courses could be barriers.

4.1 - Currently working for a municipality, I have found that a lot of people out in the field who are doing the work do not necessarily have the code knowledge to build properly.
4.2 - There needs to be a clear set of criteria that sets out what the equivalency would mean in practice.

5.1 - wouldn't be opposed to restructuring the exams. However, I'm not sure combining legal with a Small buildings, or large buildings course would be helpful.
5.2 Perhaps only offering one combined legal exam instead of breaking it down into general, designer and CBO - a lot of new people confuse which legal exam is required for what they plan to do.
Also, maybe incorporate Part 10 and 11 into the house/small buildings/large buildings exams instead of grouping that in with the legal exams.

6.2 - I agree that continual education on updates to the code is important. Continual education on other topics that may relate to the code is also important - Credits for learning sessions would be a good thing to go towards that
6.3 - I think updates to the code should be easily accessible to all who may use the code - whether printed or digital - a highlight/summary of what has changed and why the changes were made (e.g. a particular example or scenario would be helpful to a lot of people who may not read every word of the code every day, but who may need the short list of changes, so they can keep that in mind)
