Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Kelcey, for appearing. My apologies for the coincidental conflict with committee business.
A lot of the concern, the opposition and the driving force behind the calls now for the cancellation of this project have been based on this sort of dance of seven veils that Sidewalk Toronto has been performing. There's a lot of secret information and conflict with regard to getting people on the strategic advisory board to sign oaths of confidentiality, even on some of the most basic discussions of privacy by design, for example...Ann Cavoukian.
I know the board of trade has been very supportive of Waterfront Toronto over the years and encourages the responsible development of a magnificent piece of property in downtown Toronto. Was the board of trade not concerned as this entire controversy began to unravel, when the Toronto Star got that leaked information that seemed to suggest that this has been a real estate deal all along, rather than the simple 12-acre Quayside project based on what most of us thought was a magnificent proposal?
