Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I stated earlier, in market communities where there's competition for developers and construction trades, there is room for that competitive spirit. Developing of lots is up to the municipalities to see what they can make available. It is expensive for them, but they do have the tools and avenues that they are able to do that. Non-tax-based or the general taxation area -- it should be correctly terminated as general taxation areas -- there is not the flexibility and the revenue for them to look at the high cost of just developing for small housing projects, whether it's two or three or four lots. This initiative, we feel, is moving in that area which will allow those communities to better house people who would come and work in their community or even long-time residents in their communities. Thank you.
