Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Thorne, you mentioned brownfield sites being used to increase supply. I know that in Toronto, the Canary District, for example, was built on contaminated property. It really transformed that area of the city. I've always looked at brownfield sites as huge opportunities. According to a recent report I read, there are about 30,000 brownfield sites across Canada.
You mentioned putting grants forward to help developers purchase land, but I've also heard from people involved in industry that there's been concern over long-term litigation from contaminants, so there's getting the right insurance policies, and sometimes they are not available.
Are there issues like that, or other issues you've encountered as a planner, that make brownfield sites harder for developers to use and cities to utilize?
