Should the Ministry of Housing of B.C. direct that a newer edition of either of these elevator safety standards (or both) shall be adopted in the province of British Columbia for the year 2026, or at any time in the future during the length of the contract term, the Contractor shall be obligated to service and maintain all elevating units covered under this maintenance service contract with the Correctional Service of Canada in accordance with the newer editions of these elevator safety standards.
