Default Toronto's new green roof law a first for North America

The quote pretty much sums it up. I wonder how this is going over with the locals and builders?

Quote:
In a first for a North American city, Toronto recently passed a new law mandating "green" rooftops for all new developments. Any new construction with floorspace of more than 2,000 square meters must devote between 20 and 60 percent of its roof to vegetation. The rule applies to residential, commercial, industrial and institutional structures.
