Housing Minister Ravi Kahlon said British Columbians can trust provincial safeguards as B.C. tries to reclaim affordable housing units from five investors.

But the political opposition says they should have never been able to purchase those units in the first place.

The province is currently in a civil legal dispute with five investors, who stand accused of having violated their ownership agreements by purchasing properties at affordable housing projects in Victoria.
