Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand the Minister has said that every tenant, regardless of where they live, will receive a $400 basic reduction. Everybody receives a $400 basic reduction. My point is though, that doesn't take into consideration the cost of living differential in communities then for families of five, which is your regular sized family. Everybody gets that whether you're in cost zone one or cost zone ten, you get a $400 reduction. It's only if you have six, according to this cost of living cost zone rent reduction scale, if you have a family of six to 20, as shown in here, then you get some kind of consideration for cost of living. My point is that the regular sized, average family of five or less gets any consideration for the difference in the cost of living in their community. Why not?
