                                  spite of lower investor demand resulting from tightened lend-
                                  ing regulations. The city is going through much change due to
                                  its expanding population — Victoria’s population is growing at a
                                  rate of 2.4% — requiring that policies be put into place to ensure
                                  that infrastructure can accommodate ballooning consumption

                                  ing population and its sound economic framework will continue
