Yes, I could comment on how to get the flood-prone properties out of the flood plain. The DMAF program did include funding for property purchase. In the naturalized flood plain reclamation wetland that we are building right now in Markham, the land purchase was funded through DMAF. We could show a positive benefit-cost ratio and even buy those properties at market value.
In terms of impacts on watersheds with development, such as in that Oakville case, I think it's important to have strong watershed managers and conservation authorities looking at the cumulative effects of development, so that we can avoid increasing existing risks.
