The Manitoba Government has issued the following proclamation:

With the advice and consent of the Executive Council of Manitoba, we amend the proclamation issued on November 9, 2016, in respect of the coming into force of The New Home Warranty Act (S.M. 2013, c. 23) by striking out “January 1, 2018” and substituting “January 1, 2020”.

This Bill ensures that all new homes built for sale are covered by a warranty against defects in materials, labour and design and structural defects, and requires home builders and warranty providers to be registered.
