David Germaine

The Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario alleged that the Member and his firm committed professional misconduct by failing to maintain minimum standards, failing to comply with the Ontario Building Code, and engaging in unprofessional conduct regarding two small-scale residential projects (a stone veneer installation and a deck).

The Discipline Committee dismissed all charges, finding that the Member's brief reports and use of engineering judgment were appropriate for the scale of the projects, did not compromise public safety, and met the standard of a prudent practitioner in the circumstances.
