May I proceed?
Thank you.
Mr. Duclos, Ms. Reza, Mr. Tapscott, Ms. El‑Hage, thank you for being with us.
My first question is on divestment of land and real property to turn it into social housing, which is good news in and of itself. No one is against apple pie.
That said, in the very recent past, it so happens that the government challenged the taxes paid on some of those lands and won in court. I’m thinking here of Chelsea, where taxpayers have to pay several hundred dollars more per year.
Which laws will apply to federal lands and properties transformed into housing, particularly social housing: federal laws or those of Quebec and the Canadian provinces?
