Aspencade,
I could tell you what it is, and what it should be for Ontario.
For British Columbia, you should call the AHJ for a more precise answer.
Electrical Inspections in BC fall under the Electrical Safety Act, [RSBC 1996] CHAPTER 109.
A chief inspector and electrical inspectors are required for this Act and are appointed under the Public Service Act.
Inspection service delivery falls under the jurisdiction of each city, municipality or regional district.
