Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Then, Mr. Chairman, in view of people who are currently making decisions to, you know, sell their homes, forfeit their existing living accommodations to move into public housing units, which at this time are not costing them anything regardless of their income, would it not be fair on the part of the government to advise these people that perhaps there are changes coming, maybe the subsidy will become taxable income, maybe there will be a charge assessed for rent, those kinds of things that could be coming? Because people are making decisions based, right now, on free rent. I'm sure that's not a really hard decision to make in a lot of instances, but would it be fair and prudent to advise them of things potentially to come? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
