Canada, Ontario... Its a 5 story low rise with about 60+ tenants. He is not a qualified electrician and a bad drunk. He showed me his handywork in an apt that he was getting ready for the new tenant. he removes the 2 prong ungrounded plugs and puts in a 3 prong plug but he has nothing to connect the ground to... Is there a law in Canada against this potentially dangerous act? Also the quality of his work is untrustworthy and probably a fire hazard. I would like to call some sort of electrical inspector but i don't know exactly where to go for help. I don't want to be identified as the whistleblower because if he doesn't get fired then i have to deal with his vindictive behaviour.

In most communities there are building codes which govern this type of work. Most require a permit (which you can check to see if he got one) and that permit reqiuires a licensed electrician to do the work. If he is in violation the fines are heavy.

if he is not licenses to then it can be a fire hazard you need to call the local fire dep. to find out and if you don't want to do this after he is done have a electrician come and check out his work

Is it illegal to encourage this behavior? It looks like with enough alcohol and electricity this problem may solve itself quickly. I recommend fire drills.
