Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My point of concern is about the manner in which these rent increases are being described by the Housing Corporation to tenants and by the Minister in this House. Wouldn't it be more appropriate, Mr. Speaker, rather than to say the rent will increase by 30 per cent, to describe it differently and to say that the rent will increase by $1,000 and the first year the tenant will pay 30 per cent of that $1,000 increase. Isn't that the more accurate way to describe it, rather than describing it as a 30 per cent increase? Thank you.
