I was disappointed to read that the City of Charlottetown lost millions in federal funding due to the lack of changes to city regulations and red tape to facilitate rapid construction of housing projects. I have been closely following this housing situation for 10 years now.

I heard and read the media interviews given by the Deputy Mayor Alanna Jankov, giving her explanations as to how this happened. The total failure to advance this priority file is to be blamed on the provincial government and the lack of staff at the city to push forward this priority. This is hardly credible, the city did not need a sign off by the Government of P.E.I. to proceed, lack of staff at the city has been a problem for many years and could have been dealt with to meet this housing priority.

Charlottetown loses $1.26 million........
