卑诗省府修订建筑法规，准许木造建筑的限制楼高从原先的四层楼提高到六层楼，新法从4月6日起生效。省府表示，这项修法是基於木造建筑的若干优势： 成本较低、较為环保，並可為卑诗木材开拓出新市场。
為了消弭民眾对高层木造建筑是否经得起地震衝击的疑虑，省府已在上述新法生效前三日，针对高层木造建筑增订新的防震安全规则。
「消费者权益与支持屋主协会」（Consumer Advocacy and Supportfor Homeowners  Society）主席葛拉斯提（John  Grasty）却质疑，省府是根据其他城市的经验，制订高层木造房屋的防火安全规定，但这些法规却未在本省验证过。
他说：「我们毫不留意，就草率作出这些决议。」
他並指出，卑诗惨痛的漏水公寓问题，就是经由类似过程所酿成的灾难。
这项议题已引发相当多的爭论，许多人担心高层木造房屋的防火和防震安全。
但也有人指出，木造房屋因為具有弹性，其实是最耐震的，加州早已批准建造六层楼的木造房屋，有关防震问题其实无须过虑。
另外，若发生火灾，云梯消防车还可救出木造屋高层住户，这和钢筋水泥大厦的四、五十层楼居民相比，还算是较有安全保障的。
