The New Home Warranty Program of Manitoba Inc. is a non-profit
organization comprised of a Board of Directors, a Registration Committee,
a Technical Committee, and staff.
Board of Directors
The heart of our organization can be found in our Board which
is representative of 5 builder members and 5 non-builders. The non-builders
form representation from:
- Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
- Consumers' Association of Canada
- Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
- Insurance Industry of Manitoba
- Accounting/Engineering
Our Board is responsible for the Program's longevity by involving
themselves in almost every mechanism which provides organization
and direction to the New Home Warranty Program. The balanced representation
between builders and non-builders ensures that the direction taken
is equitable for both builder members and homeowners. It also allows
for flexibility, a diverse knowledge base, and a progressive outlook
when it comes to decision making and policy revision. Some of the
areas in which the Board is involved are:
- Policies and procedures
- Projects and joint-ventures
- Ratification of decisions made by our Committees resulting in
their resolution
Technical Committee
Our Technical Committee is responsible for reviewing and providing
recommendations on all claims involving a possible 'major structural
defect' (2 - 5 year items). The Committee is also involved in any
dispute or revision regarding the warranty clauses and defect guidelines.
Representation is comprised of 2 builder members, a qualified Engineer,
a City of Winnipeg Inspections Officer, and a Representative of
Developers. The expertise and dedication of this Committee ensures
that claims are dealt with fairly and in a timely manner.
Registration Committee
The Registration Committee meets to review membership renewals
and new applications for membership. This Committee is comprised
of representation from the Canadian Bankers' Association, the Program's
Chief Executive Officer, an accountant, and a lawyer.
Staff
Our staff is currently comprised of a Chief Executive Officer and
2 Administrative Assistants. The staff are responsible for all incoming
inquiries, claims review, the processing of various forms, registration
and renewal of membership, and advertising.
