Just over heard that the building permit fee has recently been raised a lot (something like 8K). Anyone knows more details?

Ottawa property developers cry foul over proposed fee hikes

Are you talking about this one?

Builder would not lose a penny -they would tansfer the cost to you and me, the buyers...

looks like the increase will spread through four years
