Action 1: 1.1 Strongly agree with the use of digital Code during exam. 1.2 No concerns with this approach. 1.3 Proctor exam process will need to permit access to digital copy on computer.

Action 2: 2.1 I am in support of reducing the number of questions to allow for more time, to better represent actual code interpretation conditions. As my understanding is the questions given on each exam are a random generation from a larger list and therefore certain exams can have greater emphasis or lack certain topics, and with reduced questions, there may be increased chance that topics could be missed on some exams. Would therefore encourage continued education. 2.2 No comment

Action 3: 3.1 In support of pre-qualification training such as completing the applicable on-line course at George Brown College. I see it is as a benefit overall as it supports the exam preparations that should be taking place and helps to ensure a certain level of understanding above and beyond the ability to answer multiple choice questions. 3.2 It could extend the time it takes to become qualified and does increase the cost however ensuring component practitioners should be the priority. See Professional Engineers of Ontario move to enforce continued education starting in 2023 to align with all other provinces who already require the work.

Action 4: 4.1 & 4.2 I am in support of exemptions to remove the barrier for people who struggle with classic examination processes however am cautious of the impact that exemptions can have. Does this mean you are qualified in another province, if so, the codes are not the same and there still needs to be competency gained in Ontario Code. Does this mean taking a course and proving competency during that process therefore not requiring the exam, I am in support of this but then oversight/approval of course content, providers, instructors needs to be provided. 4.3 Not aware

Action 5: 5.1 No concerns. 5.2 no

Action 6: 6.1 Beneficial. 6.2 I think amendments should be included but not be the only requirement. I do think an annual submission of CPD hours can be implemented but allow training, research and education to count. BC system may be a relevant example: https://www.bchousing.org/licensing-consumer-services/builder-licensing…
6.3 Annual webinar (max 1 hour) self-guided that is required to be completed and reviews the amendments. Could allow the option for it to be completed at annual conferences (like through the Ontario Building Code Association).
