Victoria city council has given the green light to the creation of a renters' advisory committee, in hopes of helping regulate the rental situation in B.C. "We are in the midst of an acute housing crisis in Victoria," Loveday told CBC On The Island's guest host, Khalil Akhtar. But before the committee can begin advising city council, it needs members. Victoria city councillors Jeremy Loveday, pictured, and Sharmarke Dubow put forth a motion in November to create a renters' advisory committee. The deadline to apply to join the renters' advisory committee is Jan. 17.
