Thanks, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome to our witnesses today.
The minister has been very clear that a number of our properties will be transferred to housing providers to assist with affordable housing. There are residential requirements as it relates to contaminants. It's a pretty high bar in different provinces, and I'm sure all of the regulations are different. I'm just wondering what process you go through to ensure that those properties do meet regulations provincially. I'm assuming we're using provincial regulations. That is one of my questions. What process do you undertake when you're going through the decontamination process?
Then I have another question supplemental to that. You mentioned that 1,200 sites have been closed over the years. Environmental regulations are constantly changing. How do we retrospectively go back and investigate some of those properties that might have been decontaminated in the early days, in the 1990s and early 2000s, when the environmental regulations may not have been as strict as they are today?
