Dear Mr. Clemmensen:

Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) has reviewed the various models for a code development and review process and other relevant documentation, and has prepared a PEO submission on the same subject for the consideration of the Joint Task Group.

The PEO submission (attached) was drafted and approved by the PEO Working Group on the National Building, Fire and Plumbing Codes, and endorsed by PEO’s Professional Practice Committee.

It has also been provided to the other engineering regulatory bodies in Canada for their information and possible independent action in support of the PEO conclusions and recommendations.

If you have any questions about the PEO submission, please contact me through Laurie Macdonald, P.Eng., Director of
Professional Affairs, at (416) 224-1100 Ext. 493.

Yours sincerely,

(original signed)

Gina Cody, Ph.D., P.Eng.
