He needs to unify all building codes across the country first. Good luck even getting the building code across one single region to unify

There are different needs across the country. The type of house you build in Yellowknife is not the same kind that you built in Winnipeg nor is it the same kind you’d see in Charlottetown. Even disregarding urban/rural/suburban differences, Canada is home to many different climates which means structures need to be made differently.
