The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:07): I have a further supplementary question. Given that the minister has indicated that the LMC could be a purchaser of that land in the current zone's state, will the minister consider rezoning that parcel of land once the government is the owner? Given the rezoning and the windfall gain in values from the property, will that all be invested in affordable housing?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Police, Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning) (15:07): That is really a hypothetical question. The honourable member is talking about windfall and zoning. I will not comment. I know that consideration has been given to the matter, but it would be quite inappropriate for me to discuss the details of any negotiations that might be under way. The honourable member should know that.
