Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have heard from the Members with regard to their concerns they have raised in the House, especially with regard to the phasing in of the rent scale and lifting the moratorium for the next two years. I had the department look to see what is the practicality of doing it and are there any legal implications by moving forward. I have consulted with the department to look at the possibility of phasing in so the impact won't be that great on our tenants. We are looking at the possibility instead of a 30/10 phase in over two years, we are looking at a 20/20, similar to what the Member suggested. A 25 or 15. I figure if we look at something like a 20/20 percent phase in over the next two years, hopefully that is something we can look at. Again, that is something that I am hoping to bring to the House by way of a Minister's statement. Thank you.
