2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government

Dr. Mary Lee Rhodes:
Currently, there are no protections that those properties will remain in State ownership. The legislation went deeply into that point and I believe a great deal of information was provided to this committee in another report regarding the disposal of assets. How to deal with that in the regulation remains a key question for members of the committee and the Department. On the other side, that specific point created issues around classification in other jurisdictions. We do not have an ability to control that now and we could if it is written into regulation, but writing it into regulation has issues as well.
