Is council right to back off on insulation rules? Construction companies say the city is jumping the gun on a bylaw that requires higher insulation standards when people are renovating their homes. They say the new rule will double the cost of insulating homes and goes beyond what the national building code requires. The city says the new insulation requirements will help conserve heat and reduce greenhouse gases. City council listened to the companies' complaints and decided to suspend the requirement for two years. Was this the right thing to do? City council should stop interfering with people's homes City Council needs to concentrate on matters that directly affect all citizens of YK, not second guess national building standards! If they could put half the time they spent on debating frivolous and personal matters like the idling bylaw and interfering with person's homes and decisions to upgrade them, we might have a cleaner city instead of private citizens having to take it upon themselves to pick up garbage around town.
