Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, your comments about ensuring that public properties are used for the community good, particularly affordable housing, made me think of a public property, a federally owned property, in Sandspit on Haida Gwaii, where Transport Canada owns the Sandspit Inn. It's been sitting empty for a number of years now, and the community would very much like that property to be dedicated to community use, either as a hotel, as it was formerly, or as affordable housing.
My understanding of the divestiture process is that, eventually, properties like that go up for bids from whoever. I wonder if you can lay out how the process for divesting of public properties is going to prioritize community uses, especially housing. Since your government brought forward this strategy for creating affordable housing, how have you changed the processes for divestment and development of public lands and properties in order to ensure that it doesn't get sold to, simply, the highest bidder?
I think that's probably clearly articulated enough for you to provide some kind of answer.
