In Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, there are more than 500 outstanding elevator inspections that Service N.L. needs to complete, according to an access to information request filed by the Progressive Conservative Party, the CBC reports. As of October 21, the locations of these elevators include shopping centers like the Avalon Mall in St. John’s and the Valley Mall in Corner Brook and health-care facilities such as hospitals, long-term care homes and senior living complexes along with hotels, airports and businesses, according to the source. Service N.L. critic Loyola O’Driscoll probed Service N.L. Minister Elvis Loveless at a recent House of Assembly, asking him how many elevators across the province have an expired inspection certificate. Loveless didn’t know the answer, but said he would report back to the House when he found out. O’Driscoll said a total of 24 elevators require inspections at the Confederation Building alone.  Loveless responded to say his department will discuss the issues O’Driscoll raised.
