Yes, I think it's important to understand that pension funds exist to maximize return in order to provide lifetime retirement income for their members. There is no other altruistic means. I think it is often a mistaken belief that funding projects through pension funds would lead to better outcomes. There are a number of examples. Here in Ottawa, for example, hundreds of low-income, largely racialized tenants in the Heron Gate neighbourhood were displaced by a company that's partly owned by the Manitoba teachers' pension fund. That is one of many examples.
I think it's important to recognize that this isn't the proper forum for delivering affordable housing for the core housing need. It's not through workers' pension funds.
There are a number of ways that the governments could address this. I think the most important one would be requiring human rights outcomes for housing projects. If there were greater protections for tenants, this would combat some of the profit-maximizing behaviour that we see from financialized actors and attempt to restore some balance into that equation.
