Through the CTAJ™ program, the New Brunswick Real Estate Association has been able to implement cutting edge process amendments that respect recent changes in Administrative Justice. This has allowed the Association to better align with similar professional regulators within the province such as Lawyers and Medical professionals and has led others to seek additional training for process administrators through the Foundations of Administrative Justice. Through the CTAJ™ Program, Administrators of the New Brunswick Real Estate Association have been able to implement higher standards of decision-writing that have saved both time resources and costs in the decision-writing process. Association decision-makers have also begun to undertake training with FOAJ that have resulted in wholesome decisions, leading to public confidence in their decision-making abilities.
