Robert Noce, a condo lawyer, says the changes will be good for condo buyers.

Service Alberta Minister Deron Bilous said Thursday that strengthening consumer protection is a priority of the NDP government.

He says that’s why the government is proposing stronger disclosure and clear options for new buyers when their condos are not completed on time or as promised

Albertans can review and comment on a draft version of the regulations through an online survey that runs until Oct. 30. The survey link can be found on Service Alberta’s website.
