Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as all Members know, notices have been given with regard to the increases. Under the Landlord and Tenants Act, we do have to give three months' notice. The notice period has gone out and we are looking at implementing it April 1st. So it is based on the phase-in program. We are trying to conclude a four-year phase-in. We have two years left to go and we are in year three. So notices have been given, based on the rent scale implementation that has been put in place since 1995. So we are trying to conclude something that's been there for 10 years. It's something that I can look at, but in order to change it now we would have to put out notices to change the whole increase all over again. Because of that complication, I don't think we can pull it back at this time, but we can look at it with regard to how we deal with it.
