"...ways to track preconstruction condo flips"

15+ years of completely tax free gains on assignment of pre-sale contracts and they're just realizing it might be a good idea to track them? Most people in BC have become familiar with slimy realtor terms like "lift" and have seen many postings selling assignments over the years. All the while dopey Diane Lebouthillier and her staff of 43,000 clumsily go after tiny bits of revenue from those least likely to push back. The  provincial govt. seems flummoxed about any sort of real estate data collection with the clueless housing minster, Selina Robinson stating just the other day she doesn't "know if the govt. would be releasing foreign buyer numbers" and "had not really thought about it". Pathetic...
