The president of BANC Investments, Alex Halef, is a member of the Nova Scotia Affordable Housing Commission. His office declined to comment on the protest outside their building, or the cost of their "affordable units." Firstly, to protect existing affordable housing by not allowing so-called renovictions and demovictions or the gentrification of current affordable housing. Secondly, to create a minimum of 1.2 million units of affordable housing across the country in the next decade. "[This] means creating affordable housing, keeping rent control, and looking at the problem for as bad as it actually is."
