Tarion to create new ombudsman position to handle customer complaints
Tarion, the province's new home warranty program, is creating a new post to deal with customer complaints: Home Buyer Ombuds- person.
"We certainly came to the conclusion that Tarion has to be more open to consumers and has to have someone for them to reach out to," said Tarion's president and CEO Howard Bogach.
Tarion is an independent corporation that administers Ontario's New Home Warranty Plan, which offers protection to new homebuyers who pay a fee.
Bogach, who was appointed by the Tarion board earlier this year, has made it clear he was hired to make the program more open and accountable to warranty holders.
In an interview with the Toronto Star just after his appointment, Bogach said he was considering bringing in an ombudsperson to broker homeowner complaints.
"It is an opportunity for consumers to have a second avenue of assistance," Bogach said in an interview this week.
The ombudsperson will not only mediate homeowner's complaints, but will be asked to suggest any changes in policy or practice that may be needed, Bogach said.
News of the job posting comes just weeks after a stinging 16-page report from provincial Ombudsperson André Marin.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Marin said the public sees Tarion as a "puppet" of the home building industry and that it is a "chronic underperformer.
...When Marin issued his report last month, the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services and Minister Ted McMeekin were responsible for Tarion. Oversight for Tarion has now been shifted to the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services under Minister Jim Watson.
In his report, Marin said consumers are confused about just how Tarion and the province interact and called on the ministry to "clarify" its role in Tarion's affairs.
"I have concluded that the ministry's failure to clearly set out the nature of its role with respect to new home ownership needs to be remedied immediately," Marin said in his report.
There were 52,332 new homes enrolled in the warranty program in 2007, with some $9 million paid out under the plan. As of last year, a total of 465,116 homes were under warranty.

PMI Canada calls for review of CMHC
PMI Mortgage Insurance Company Canada (PMI Canada) says it would like to see the government examine how competition could be increased in the Canadian mortgage insurance market and consider how Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.’s mortgage insurance business could be restructured “to best ensure an active and competitive mortgage insurance market”.
The company says it commends the Competition Policy Panel for its recent recommendations for instituting regulatory reforms, increased transparency, and reduction of overlap and duplication in the regulatory arena.
“PMI Canada has advocated for a consistent and transparent system of regulatory review,” says Janet Martin, CEO, PMI Canada, in a news release. “We are encouraged by the panel’s recommendations that a more broad system of regulatory reform be undertaken with the goal of maintaining and increasing competition within the marketplace.”
In January, PMI Canada submitted its recommendations to the panel that called for separating CMHC’s various businesses, including mortgage insurance, into separate entities, privatizing CMHC’s mortgage insurance business, and recommending a public mandate review of CMHC.
“Implementation of the proposed recommendations would help to increase long overdue mortgage insurance competition, resulting in more choice for Canadians looking to achieve the dream of home ownership,” says Martin.
"Establishing a level playing field in Canada will benefit not only potential home buyers but lenders as well, the company says. “Fostering increased mortgage insurance competition will allow PMI Canada to bring innovative risk solutions to lenders that will assist them with their business strategies, particularly when it comes to market expansion and risk mitigation,” says the company. “Most financial Crown corporations are required to have public mandate reviews every 10 years; however, no independent mandate review of CMHC has been conducted for more than 20 years.”
