Mr. Chairman, it varied depending on where the tenants were and what kind of social situation they were in. A good portion of social housing tenants' rents either decreased or stayed the same. There were the seniors who had no other family income who were no longer paying rent. In those cases, you don't get a lot of feedback. There has been some concern coming from the communities, from the percentage that had some rent increases. How the corporation dealt with it is instead of allowing rents to increase in one shot, they phased it in over a three-year period. I believe this April was the second of the three phases. So it has been mixed, Mr. Chairman.
