Hey all, Looking for someone who knows electrical codes in Canada. I have a wire in my house, sticking out of the floor. This wire is terminated in a junction box, but the junction box, along with 2 foot of wire, is simply laid on the floor (see the picture below). The wire is still connected to the main panel, but the breaker is turned off. I have argued with the contractor that this isn't done to code but he refuses to do anything about it. Is the work done to code?

I recently moved into an apartment that only had 2 prong outlets. My landlord was kind enough to get someone to run a ground wire to the breaker box and install 2 GCFI outlets in my room so that I could use some of my more sensitive electronics (Desktop gaming PC, TV, etc.) Yesterday, I came home from class to find that all the work had been done. I eagerly plugged a generic surge protector into one of the outlets and it indicated an ungrounded outlet (or poorly grounded, I guess). Using a GCFI outlet tester, I verified that the wiring is all correct (no switched hot/neutral, etc.). Does this mean that my ground is of poor quality, despite the proper wiring, or is the indicator on the surge protector an unreliable source for making that call?
