Thank you, Minister, and your team for being here.
Minister, you just talked about selling public lands and buildings for housing. It's something I've heard your government speak about recently. We saw what happened in Ontario with the Greenbelt and the Conservatives there.
We've seen that happen with former B.C. Liberals in the province of British Columbia. Public lands are sold, ending up with profits for a handful of developers. They don't end up turning it into affordable housing.
I put forward a motion at this committee, that was supported unanimously, to ensure that public lands that belong in public hands are accessible for affordable housing, and to look at guidelines and safeguards to ensure that what happened in Ontario doesn't happen again.
Are you working on guidelines to make sure that the same thing doesn't happen? I'm concerned that you're going to unload buildings and lands, and they're going to end up profiting a handful of developers and not be designated purely for affordable housing. What certainties do you have for Canadians that this is not what's going to happen?
