If you download the Construction Performance Guidelines from Tarion and refer to page 22, it discusses your issue. That's too bad.

"...cracks in excess of 6mm are not acceptable"?!?
There are household pets that could be lost in a 6mm floor crack. I'm beginning to love Tarion.

cracks in a cement floor have become the norm - it has to do with the mix, finishing speed, and drying too fast there is no structural implication unless one side is lifted up higher than the other and/or they keep moving i any case what you can do is fill/seal them with caulk - the widest gaps will need 2 or 3 treatments to stay flush |
