There's a policy on the percentage per square foot or square metre of commercial space in the greater Ottawa area. That rule, which has been around for more than 20 years, is called the 75-25 rule, and I believe it was the Liberals who introduced it in the early 1980s. All my predecessors have tried to stick to that rule, but in the past few years, the ratio has unfortunately slipped to 77-23, which has caused an imbalance in the real estate market.
My objective is to restore the ratio to 75-25. Since several millions of square feet are involved, moving the needle from 23 to 25 represents a few hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, we shouldn't just give up.
