The Wellesley Institute commissioned David Rusk, a leading American expert on Inclusionary Housing, to examine this report and look at the counter-arguments in favour of using this tool.  Richard Drdla, the leading Canadian expert, has also written a paper that examines the many flaws in the Altus Clayton report.
