I'm not really sure, to be honest with you. I have heard the intention and rationale of this reorganization is to create more alignment between communities and infrastructure. Because housing development is often connected to infrastructure, that alignment does make sense from a conceptual perspective. Many of the general duties and powers of the minister remain fairly consistent, but it remains to be seen what material impact this will have. I guess only time will tell.
