Condo organizations such as COF and CCI have released questions you should be asking your candidates during this election. We have also asked for policy statements regarding Condominiums from the major parties vying for your votes. Here’s what we found.
On March 23rd COF Board Members Terry Gibson and Phil Rosenzweig were invited to he Alberta Legislature to be there when the petition that was launched on February 3rd 2023 was tabled in the House. During that session, which turned out to be the last session of the 30th Legislature, NDP MLA for Edmonton-Riverview Lori Sigurdson was able to ask Affordability and Utilities Minister Matt Jones several questions regarding the affordability program which we see as still inherently unfair to many Owners and Tenants in Multi Family buildings.
To provide closure to the hundreds of Condo Owners and Condominium Boards that have signed our petition we have asked the opposition to table our petition in the Legislature. Hence, it becomes part of this legislative session. We look forward to seeing this petition tabled on Thursday afternoon, March 23rd.
The Ministry is studying alternatives to deliver the energy rebate(s) more effectively and be more inclusive of people in Multifamily buildings. We were assured that it was a high priority to address the inequities of the current programs.
The Condo Owners Forum Society of Alberta applauds the decision of Premier Smith to continue to support these programs. With the new emphasis on these two energy affordability programs we are asking, once again that Premier Smith through Affordability Minister Matt Jones reopen the regulations of these programs to include the hundreds of thousands of Alberta Condo Owners that are not currently eligible because of the type of building they live in.
Many Alberta Condo Owners may find themselves ineligible for the Energy Affordability rebate program if their Condominium Corporations pay the utility bills
