M-158 Sale or transfer of surplus real property

That, in the opinion of the House, the government should add to the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Directive on the Sale or Transfer of Surplus Real Property: (a) an additional bullet point to the Purpose section stating “the greatest possible social, environmental, and local-economic net benefit in the future use of the property”; (b) a Directive requirement under section 6 to conduct a full Triple Bottom Line assessment of the social, environmental, and local-economic benefits and costs of all sales and transfers of surplus federal property, through a points-based evaluative system that ensures the greatest public value in the future use of that property; and (c) under section 8, Guidance and Tools, a reference to the Triple Bottom Line assessment matrix used in the September 2004 Request for Proposals for the Victoria Dockside Lands project.
