DEDICATION • DEVOTION • DETERMINATION 2

(INSPQ) last Friday, warns that the easing of physical distancing measures in the City of Montreal could lead to a sharp increase in the number of Covid19 cases and deaths. This comes as Quebec's construction industry reopens in the province on May 11th and elementary schools and daycare centers (only outside of the Greater Montreal Metropolitan area) also begin to reopen - after emergency measures shut them down almost two months ago. ‘According to current epidemiological

www.mtltimes.ca

conditions, ending confinement could lead to a rapid increase in cases and deaths' the study warns. They predict that Covid-19 cases could soar up to 10,000 per day by June and deaths from the virus could rise as high as up to 150 per day by July (with computer modelling predicting in 6 out of 10 cases, deaths and hospitalizations would continue to rise - while in 4 out of 10 cases, they would plateau and then slowly start to decrease). The INSPQ worked together with experts from McGill and Laval Universities in calculating how the epidemic could evolve in the Montreal area if the restrictions were lifted before May 25th - by assuming that social contacts could increase somewhere between 15% to 30% per cent when schools, construction sites, industries and non-essential stores reopen. As for the rest of the province, the study also looked at the situation and came to the conclusion that it is

'stable and not likely to deteriorate sharply as the result of the reopening of schools and businesses'. The predicted numbers do not include deaths in longterm care facilities or take into account the effect of increased testing and contract tracing. Montreal accounts for close to 63% per cent of Quebec’s deaths from COVID-19 and 51% per cent of diagnosed cases, based on the latest (May 10th) statistics from the Government of Quebec government. In his press briefing on Saturday, Prime Minster Trudeau, referring to the projections, stated that he was concerned about the situation in Montreal. “I am very worried for the citizens of Montreal, just as I’m worried for people across the country… we owe it to ourselves to base (decisions) on science,” he said. It remains to be seen if Quebec will consider the INSPQ study in its decisions. May 16, 2020 •

"Therefore, each delegate is required to have a 'platform', a social issue that she is passionate about, and mine is human trafficking.

The city in a post-pandemic future erhaps the sole idea of thinking about the postpandemic period

By Sergio Martinez mtltimes.ca

might be seen as unnecessary at this point. After all, we are still uncertain as to the stage of the pandemic in which we are right now. We hear the cautious signs sent by both, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and the Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam. Somehow, more impatient, we see our Pre-

mier François Legault, despite the critical situation in Quebec, particularly in Montreal. However, regardless of whether COVID-19 will come under control and the crisis it brought will be overcome in a few months or a year or two, questions about what will happen after are already in the air.And the answers are many, although most coincide on one basic assumption—things will have to change. Of course, the nature of that change may vary according to the ideological positions and the interests represented by those who are doing the answering. Recognition for the job done by healthcare workers anywhere in the world has created a consensus that theirs is a type of job deserving much better

In December 1962, the Italian weekly "Domenica del Corriere" imagined this future for urban transportation: would this be the future in our cities?

If we have to live with COVID-19 for years to come, metro cars and buses would have to be redesigned to facilitate social distancing salaries and social respect. And that goes not only for medical doctors and nurses, those in the frontline of this battle, but for all involved in the fight: orderlies taking care of seniors in residences, and those cleaning and sanitizing facilities. This means that at least on this item, the future may look brighter than what has been so far. In other areas of society, however, consensus might be more challenging to reach. Take transportation, for instance: the current situation where social distancing is a must has created a justified fear of boarding buses or the metro. At the time when more economic activities reopen, there would be more riders and, therefore, possibilities for contagion may increase. This situation may, in fact, reverse a previous trend: the replacement of the pri-

vate car as a preferred means of transportation. So far, in Montreal and other cities, signs are contradictory: some pedestrian spaces have been enlarged—taking away space from parking or traffic. However, at the same time, more people afraid of using public transportation are driving their cars again. Of course, for some, the bicycle is another popular option. However, in a city with a five-month winter, it is a limited choice. Environmentalists would like to see a greener economy, and some try to find links between the coronavirus and the depletion of the natural habitat for some species or even the effect of climate change on this crisis. Old habits are hard to die though, as illustrated by people here in some Montreal parks or

beaches in Vancouver who tend to forget all measures of personal and social care, to indulge in what they— selfishly—regard as a kind of birthright: to enjoy themselves totally disregarding other people's well-being. That without forgetting the "covidiots" who have been demonstrating in favour of easing the current restrictions on physical distancing and demanding the reopening of all the economy. Since most people in Canada are concentrated in urban centres, the city as a human entity is central in any talk on the post-pandemic future.The tendency to work from home, generally well-received by employees, if prolonged after the crisis, may affect the demand for office space. Perhaps we will see many empty or half-filled towers downtown—no good

news for commercial real estate developers. If the virus remains as a fact of life and there is no vaccine, people would have to learn to live with that contingency. Still, the city would have to adapt to that situation too. Perhaps not the kind of shielded personal vehicles that the Italian newspaper "Domenica del Corriere" envisioned in its edition of December 1962, but transit agencies in most cities, including Montreal, would have to redesign buses and metro cars. The goal of moving the most people possible would have to change to safely moving people separated from each other. In the meantime, let's keep thinking and imagining what we would like our urban setting look at the time when the worst of this crisis is over. New ideas are always necessary.

Another outbreak of Covid-19 at Lakeshore General Hospital fter an outbreak breakout, just less than two weeks ago, where 15 Covid-19 cases were reported at Pointe-Claire's Lakeshore General Hospital, another 11 patients have tested positive with the virus. The outbreak was confirmed in a statement from CIUSSS de l’Ouest-de-l’Ile-de-

Montréal. 'We have a team on site that is currently reorganizing the containment areas… we try to avoid as much as possible the movement of care staff between hot and cold zones. It should be noted that employees do not move from zone to zone during the same shift. However, we must ensure that we provide essential care

to all patients'. According to the FIQ (Quebec’s nurses’ union), staff were still moving between the zones. A 'Cold Zone' is where patients with other health problems are located and isolated from the rest of the hospital. A 'Hot Zone' is where patients who had already contracted the disease are located.

This time the new outbreak started on the 3rd floor South, which was supposed to be a 'cold zone'. Five of the patients who were infected with the virus were on that floor and in private rooms. The other six who were infected were on the 3rd floor North, also a 'cold zone'. A spokesperson for

the CIUSSS de l’Ouestde-l’Île-de-Montréal said that 'all staff and patients were tested after the first outbreak and since the situation is constantly evolving, we are making sure to conduct ongoing follow-ups with healthcare personnel to ensure that protection and infection-control measures are properly

applied'. However, the FIQ representing health workers at the hospital said that not everyone had been tested. They maintain that there has actually been a shortage of N-95 masks and have accused the CIUSSS of making employees wear expired masks, despite the many concerns they raised.

Workers test positive for Covid-19 at Quebec Cargill meat plant

wearing of glasses, a visor and masks by the employees on the production line, as well as the installation of Plexiglas. Employees' arrival and departure times were also shifted between the different shifts and she said that there has been good cooperation between the employer and the union, as well as with the Monteregie public health authorities. All union members

will be receiving their wages during the closure. 'We are granting up to 80 hours paid leave to people who need to take time off work to cope with COVID-19. While the plant is shut down, employees will be paid up to 36 hours plus the usual benefits, as we want to show our gratitude to our employees', Cargill stated in an email. The decision was of course

welcomed by the union. “The idea behind that is that we don't want workers to have to choose between their financial health and their physical health. We especially don't want a worker not to reveal his symptoms or to acknowledge that he has been in contact with someone declared positive because he is afraid of losing his salary,” Larouche said.

Cargill meat processing plant, located in Chambly in Quebec's Monteregie region, will temporarily shut down after 64 workers tested positive with the Covid-19 virus. This comes after their Cargill plant in High River, Alberta had to be closed on April 20th for two weeks, when over 900 workers also tested positive. The Monteregie region public health department said they have been working with Cargill since April 25th and that the com-

public health, in collaboration with Cargill, is that from (this) Wednesday the factory will be closed in order to carry out the tests and the reopening is planned at the time when we have enough workers to restart this factory,” she stated and added that several measures had been previously put forward in the hope of avoiding such pany decided to shut a scenario, such as the down on its own, even though it was not ordered to do so.

he Kirkland Provigo Le Marché store, located at 16900 Trans-Canada Highway, will be holding a collection for refundable containers in the parking lot on May 17. In an event all about generosity, customers will be asked to donate the money they are reimbursed to West Island Mission.

organization in our region with needs that are even greater under the current circumstances. My team and I are very proud to be holding this collection, to be offering this service to our customers in a safe way and to be helping to relieve pressure on the returnable containers supply chain,” said the Kirkland Provigo Le Marché Store Manager, Vahé Kevork.

Benefits payments for eligible Canadians to continue until Fall 2020 his past Friday, the

Honourable D i a n e L e b o u t h i l l i e r, Minister of National Revenue is announcing that benefit payments will continue for an additional three months for those who are not able to file their 2019 returns on time. Eligible Canadians who are presently receiving the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) credit and/or the Canada child benefit (CCB) will continue to receive these payments until the end of September 2020. As previously announced as part of Canada's COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, the tax filing deadline has been extended from April 30 to June 1,

2020. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) expects many Canadians will need to take advantage of the extended deadline. Therefore, if the 2019 tax return is not assessed, and to allow time to calculate benefits and/or credits for

the July to September 2020 payments, payment amounts will be based on information from 2018 tax returns. If 2019 tax returns are not received and assessed by early September 2020, estimated benefits and/or credits will stop in October

2020 and the taxpayer will have to repay the estimated amounts that were issued as of July 2020. "We know many Canadians are facing hardship as a result of the financial, physical, and emotional strain caused by the COVID-

19 pandemic. Benefits and credits are important for Canadians as many rely on them to make ends meet. We also know that some Canadians are not able to file their tax return on time due to physical distancing measures, even with the addition of virtual tax clinics. By making sure that benefits aren't interrupted, we are providing relief to some of the most vulnerable Canadians during this difficult time."-The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue The CRA encourages Canadians to file their tax returns by June 1, 2020 or as soon as possible in order to receive the right amount of benefits based on their

2019 tax return, and in order to ensure continuity of benefits beyond September 2020. The CRA has helpful information and a step-bystep guide to help Canadians complete their taxes. To help file taxes, free virtual clinics will be offered by local organizations, in partnership with the CRA's Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) and the joint CRA and Revenu Québec Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer Program. These clinics will be held on an interim basis to help those with low and modest incomes and a simple tax situation who are looking for support during tax season.

Risotto and wine pairings

uring these uncertain times we all need our dose of comfort

By Marco Giovanetti mtltimes.ca food and for me is Risotto.This classic Italian rice dish can be composed with multiple ingredients such as mushrooms, seafood and even Rapini. Hand by hand, risotto and wine make a perfect

match. Both stars of Italian gastronomy, the elegant flavours of risotto and wine are a happy marriage The best way to choose a wine to drink with risotto is to consider the main ingredient used in it. Following this line of thought, when having a seafood risotto go for a dry white wine such as a Carricante, Grenache Blanc or Roussanne. When serving a meat based risotto choose a younger medium-structured red such as a Gamay or Barbera.For vegetarian risotto dishes aromatic white varietals such as Arneis should pair nicely. Fiddleheads Risotto Fiddleheads are sweet like asparagus, grassy and snappy reminiscent

of green beans, with a taste nuance of broccoli. Though not quite as challenging to pair with wine, the similarity to asparagus means fiddlehead ferns are better served along with a white wine. This spring vegetable is in season and just loves to make risotto with it. There is a very important criteria to know about fiddleheads: you could get sick if you eat them raw. In order to eliminate the toxins in the ferns, boil them for minimum five minutes before eating or continue to cook. Before boiling the ferns, however, you'll want to clean them, which you can do by

simply putting them in a bowl of cold water, and scrubbing them with your hands. Then trim the ends, and you're good to go. Here is a great fiddlehead risotto recipe that I borrowed from Quincailleire Dante. It should be perfect for your family weeknight meal. Ingredients • 50g butter • 2 tbsp Olive oil • 300g arborio rice • ½ white onion, diced • 1 ½ liter vegetable stock • ½ glass of white wine • 200g fiddleheads • 100g mascarpone 50 g parmesan Preparation: Fiddleheads: 2 times blanch in salted boiled water. Put them immediately in ice water for stopping heat. Sauté with butter, olive oil, salt and pepper. In a saucepan, heat the butter and oil. Sauté onions until transparent. Add the rice and mix it with butter and onions. Deglaze with white wine until it evaporates. Add broth a ladle at a time. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Taste the rice and when aldente, add the fiddleheads. At the end of cooking, add the mascarpone and parmesan. It should yield 4 portions

Wine recommendations

Animus Douro 2018. SAQ # 11133239 $12.95 Classic and solid drinking from Portugal Douro Valley. Plenty of red fruits and spice on the nose. On the palate, the wine is savoury with medium tannins. Try it with a risotto with sausage and tomatoes.

Cinsault Martin Texier Vigne du Masson 2018. ( Private Import, Oenopole, 12 pack case. $29.80) Fragrant violet and black berries nuances with touches of black pepper and garrigue. On the palate, extremely fragrant with a delightful mouthfeel and suave tannins. It is pure pleasure drinking this wine. Very floral aftertaste reminiscent of lavender incense. Could pair well with prosecco risotto with lavender leaves.

Your Swimming Pool

Domaine de La Charmoise Touraine Gamay 2019 SAQ # 329532 $17.30 A blue chip Gamay from the Loire that never deceives vintage after vintage. It has a beautiful nose reminiscent of fieldberries ( cherry and raspberry come to mind) with nuances of violets and black pepper. Medium body and earthy with slight chalky tannins. Pairing well with risotto with mushrooms. • May 16, 2020

Buti Nages Costières de Nîmes 2019 SAQ # 13808682 $15.95 An amazing white for the price. It has a beautiful nose bringing to mind citrus and flower undertones reminiscent of grapefruit, lemons and white camomille. Easy going on the palate with a subdued minerality on the palate.Very long and cleansing finale.Will pair amazingly with shrimp risotto.

INFLUENCE – Hot Docs online D o I miss movies? Of course, I do, or more specifically, films in

their "natural" setting: the cavernous setting of a movie theatre. Well, COVID-19 has closed all these venues. Then, the only chance to enjoy a film at this moment is on a TV set, a computer screen, or even a mobile phone screen (an option I personally deride and would never take). In any case, movies are still on, with a variety of sources, from commercial streaming services like Netflix to Internet providers like Bell, even chains like Cineplex. On

this occasion, however, I will comment a documentary that will be aired on May 21, on CBC, the Documentary Channel, and Gem. "Influence" will be shown as part of the Toronto-based Hot Docs festival. The film has a connection to Montreal since McGill alumni Richard Poplak co-directed it together with South Africa's Diana Neille. The documentary focuses on British spin-doctor Lord Timothy Bell of PR firm Bell Pottinger.With a considerable amount of archival material, not always easy to follow, "Influence" provides a powerful depiction of the transformation of politics. The political discourse aims now at causing an effect by some kind of theatrical performance, more than by anything substantial. Bell's career as a PR man for politicians took off when in the late 1970s was in charge of Margaret Thatcher's campaign in

Part of the Hot Docs festival now aired on CBC, "Influence" presents a revealing look at politics in times of 'fake news', all of that under the influence of notorious Lord Tim Bell Britain.

part of the film, Bell talks about "old democracy" and "controlled democracy." This is a documentary that I recommend, especially to those interested in world politics, and British and South African recent history. Running time: 150 min. AND FOR OTHER MOVIES ONLINE This time could also be an opportunity for movie fans to explore other genres and some international productions. Cinema Moderne offers an engaging online program for this month, I strongly recommend Ken Loach's "Sorry, We Missed You" which is online since May 15.

Retinol - Choose Wisely almon, kale, eggs, tuna. All high in Retinol. Cheese. Liver, Cod, Squash. All high in retinol. Aka Vitamin A, an essential.

By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca

When consuming fatty acids, we also consume the fat-soluble vitamins, like retinol. Our skin needs it.Today, with Covid precautions that dictate recommended products on the skin, we need all the help we can get. Since time began, oils containing natural retinol, have been rubbed into the skin to help soothe, moisturize and heal. Africans apply shea butter. Islanders: coconut. Inuit: whale fat, bear grease. Mediterranean’s love olive oil. Moroccans, argan. Australians, emu. It is agreed by many professionals that retinol can help the skin against aging, internal and external. However, without strict rules and regulations, cosmetic

companies often lead us on a risky journey. The synthetic Retinol additions, may be one bump on the road we can choose to avoid. At one time, the stronger version of topical retinoid products always required a prescription, but, today, there are over-thecounter weaker version retinols. Advocates will tell you to use retinoid skin products to reduce fine lines, boost collagen, unclog pores, promote elasticity, treat acne, decrease hyperpigmentation and promote overall healthier skin in as little as 4 weeks. It could take up to 3 months if you are using a product with a lower retinol dosage. You might read that consuming too much retinol can be dangerous and therefore, if you want healthy skin, to use a retinol cream instead. Are they actually suggesting we reduce our Vitamin A food intake and instead, get our needed Vitamin A from a retinol cream?

It may be true that too much of anything can be dangerous. Unless you are an artic explorer forced to overconsume polar bear liver, you are in little danger of getting hypervitaminosis A. A varied and healthy diet will allot the proper amount of A. Most people do not even get enough in today’s world of over over-processed foods. As for wearing retinol

on the skin, YES, it is a good idea, but choose natural oil sources, not the synthetic version. The side effects of the retinol in cosmetics may include; dryness, burning, itching, redness, irritation, flaking and peeling, skin cancer and sun sensitivity. To avoid this last side effect, the manufacturer might suggest that you wear retinol only at night and make sure your sunscreen has an added

www.mtltimes.ca

SPF over 30. Or better, buy their retinol product with an SPF factor already installed and wear it whenever needed. Is that not an oxymoron? We suggest natural retinol is the best nourishment for healthy skin, to be worn anytime! Unrefined Emu oil. Pure Argan oil. Sheamu butter. Shargan butter. Revitalizing Eye Oil. Spoil Me Body Oil.

King George VI and his family (including the future Queen Elizabeth II) appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to salute the British people for their valiant service during six very difficult years of war. One of the people who joined the royal family on the balcony during that moment of triumph was its Prime Minister, Winston Churchill. However, it was exactly five years before that Churchill assumed the office of British prime minister, at a time when Britain was facing the biggest crisis in its history. Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Norway and France have already -- or were

about to -- fall to the blitzkrieg manner of the Nazi war machine, and Britain was next on Hitler's list. The Nazi leader hoped to do it by land (in a plan that he labelled "Operation Sea Lion") or by air, through the might of the German Air Force (aka the Luftwaffe). And to make matters worse, Britain, like its geographical location within the European continent, felt like it was alone, cut off from the rest of the world. Even Churchill's hope of getting the isolationist United States on board for at least some semblance of aid to help Britain to keep Nazi Germany at bay from landing on the shores of

Dover was a long shot; President Franklin Roosevelt had other matters on his plate, including his candidacy for an unprecedented third term in the White House. So what was handed to the new prime minister was a true -- yet unenviable-- test of leadership during a time of extreme crisis. How Churchill handled this impending invasion and protect the interests of the British empire and its people is the subject of Erik Larson's latest best seller The Splendid and the Vile. The book chronicles Churchill's first year in office (May 1940 to May 1941), and the professional and personal struggles he had to face on the eve and during the fury of the Battle of Britain and the Blitz, as if the deck was automatically stacked against him. First of all, Churchill - after surviving a decade in the political wilderness -- wasn't even the first choice to succeed Neville Chamberlain as prime minister (in fact, King George VI preferred Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax over Churchill). As well, he had to contend with his share of concerns regarding his family, especially his only son Randolph, who juggled responsibilities as a journalist, naval officer and Member of Parliament, yet he squandered his three salaries on gambling and drinking, thereby leaving very little for his pregnant

wife Pamela to live on. Basically, the new prime minister had to deal with two sets of teams of rivals. And then he had to worry if the British Army, Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force (RAF) would have enough resources and weaponry to face an impending Nazi invasion. Not quite the ideal scenario to start an important job like Prime Minister of Great Britain. Larson has done a diligent job recounting this crucial one-year period in modern history, as he drew upon personal diaries of many of the people who were involved in this drama, as well as archival material and intelligence reports that until recently were kept top secret. The end result is a historical true drama filled with secrets, intrigue, political and family dysfunction, backroom diplomacy and plenty of interesting characters and idiosyncrasies. For example, Churchill shuttled between 10 Downing Street, his country estate called Chequers and his wartime retreat residence called Ditchley with a massive entourage that included personal assistants, secretaries, typists, bodyguards, cabinet ministers and special guests; as well, he relied on a number of sometime-eccentric experts to see what could be done to stop the Nazi onslaught towards Britain such as Freder-

ick Lindemann (aka "The Prof") who suggested that the RAF use aerial mines to stop Luftwaffe bombers, and Canadian-born newspaper baron Max Aitken (aka Lord Beaverbrook) who was appointed Minister of Aircraft Production, who was not only a gossip maven, but also liked to resign from the cabinet every six months or so (which Churchill always did not accept). Dividing the narrative between London, Berlin and Washington gives the book a balanced approach to it, as you find out how the warring and neutral factions of the early years of World War II were up to in the months that led to the Battle of Britain, and how the major players tried to get into each other's minds to figure out what their respective decisions and moves would be in a mental chess game that would have tragic consequences later. Overall, The Splendid and the Vile is a fine addition to the ever-growing World War II library. With some coincidental contemporary overtones, the reader discovers how Winston Churchill transformed himself from political has-been to inspirational leader, when he was thrusted into a major crisis situation where the security of his country was on the line. It vividly proves how Britain emerged from its finest hour to its greatest victory.

f you are a buyer and just found your perfect home at the right price, the next By Eleni Akrivos mtltimes.ca

logical and crucial step is the home inspection. Are you ready? As a seller, you may be excited to have an agreed upon offer to purchase, yet to move forward with the transaction, your home has to pass the inspection. What will the inspector find? Most buyers and even sellers, now see the value of home inspections. Although tedious, if used for what they’re intended, home inspections can save both sides of a real estate deal many headaches down the road. There are many parties involved during and after the inspections, and it helps when everyone has a “realistic” approach to the entire process. It also helps, when everyone acts in “good faith”, and does not use the home inspection as a pretext to a definite price reduction. What inspections offer: A professional opinion and report on the overall condition of the home including everything that is visible and accessible. What inspections do not offer: An exhaustive expert report on every system in the home, whether accessible or hidden. So who is

Home Inspection advice for buyers and sellers

responsible for what during and after the inspection process? For Buyers: Inspections should reassure you that your new home is safe, functional and not going to become a “money pit”. - Be vigilant and do your homework by reviewing the Sellers Declaration with your broker. - Ask any pertinent questions about the home prior to the inspection. - Get ready to block out at least 2 to 3 hours

on inspection day, depending on size of home. - Take your time and review any concerns with inspector and brokers. The Buyer’s Broker: Attending inspections is a must, and good brokers will be right by your side during the process. - They should have a good basic knowledge by knowing what is important in the big picture, yet not pretend to know the job of the inspector. - If you’re getting a very fair price on the home, your broker will

likely advise you not to bother the Seller for small repairs. - If the inspection reveals major or serious flaws in the home, your broker can advise you on how to proceed. The Seller: Inspections are part of the process, and if you can be present during the inspection to answer any questions, things may go smoother than you think. - You can choose to have a PRE-SALE inspection before selling - Make certain necessary repairs prior to

selling - Offer the home at a reasonable price taking into consideration imminent repairs needed (roof, windows etc..) The Sellers Broker: May also be present at the inspection report, as the eyes and ears for the sellers. - Is very familiar with the property and can handle questions that come up - Will need to be ready to manage any unknowns or surprises that may arise. - Although this broker represents the Seller,

their main purpose is to collaborate with all parties for a smooth transaction The Inspector: A good inspector will provide explanations and point out things that need to be addressed and will not be an alarmist but will remain impartial. - In Quebec, your realtor can recommend a list of licensed inspectors who qualify with certain criteria. - Should definitely be chosen wisely, maybe through a referral. - Their main purpose is to inspect the home and provide you with real time knowledge, as well as a detailed report afterwards. It’s important to note, that having a family member with “construction experience”, or a friend who is a contractor be present during inspections, may be well intended but could lead to unnecessary negative consequences, as these individuals are not licensed property inspectors. Most inspections go smoothly, but some can also be the beginning of tough negotiations ahead. Make sure that you try to stay reasonable and work together with all parties of the transaction and come up with solutions that make everyone feel confident about moving forward.
