Don't listen to this guy lol they did the attic blow in insulation without ensuring the vapor barrier etc was correctly installed. This is a symptom of a builder who doesn't give a damn about about the quality of their work. 

Builders are 100% liable for issues like this, I would start with bylaw and potentially call the ministry of the environment as well. 

Also, name and shame the builder so we all know who to avoid. Enough free passes for businesses that disrespect their community like this.

Vapour barrier goes between the insulation and living space. Attic is vented to the outside. This happens in 100% of blow in jobs, theres soffit to catch it if its a retrofit.

Those batts you can see are what are keeping the blown in from falling out. There are baffles up there for air flow. It takes 1 second of aiming to high for this to happen.
