Yes.

In fairness to ReCapp's designers, the program is largely intended to trigger on the ground inspections when building components reach the supposed end of their lifecycles, although you could probably fault it for lumping flooring materials such as terrazzo in with less durable materials.

And in fairness to staff, the Ministry did mandate boards to use this software as a means of gauging building maintenance and operating costs so that apples were being compared to apples province-wide. However, once you start analyzing the ReCapp data, you begin to realize it's more like comparing pixie dust to unicorn farts, so far removed from reality are some of the items ReCapp flags.

Reasonable people should never have let such skewed data form the basis of a crucial policy direction, especially when they are now aware that the Ministry itself has recognized the problems with ReCapp and is in the process of developing a new system.
