Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Housing. Mr. Speaker, the rent scale change notice that was discussed earlier today said, in my constituency, that if tenants don't come in by March 10th, three days from now, effective April 1st, the maximum rent will be assessed. I would like to ask the Minister about his statement yesterday, when he said that only 40 per cent of tenants have asked for information and counselling as of last Friday. Is he determined to assess these folks up to $2,560 rent for a five-bedroom house, even if the Minister knows that, historically, the household is low-income and the assessed rent may, ultimately, be nowhere near the maximum rent? Thank you.
