Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I slightly disagree, because we don’t actually know that 100 percent of people paid their rent. Now he’s said that 161 percent are paying, we’re getting 161 percent back. Whether that includes the rent and arrears, we don’t know that breakdown, and that’s the type of information that I think would be helpful for all Members specifically targeted to each LHO.
Mr. Speaker, the other issues I raised in my Member’s statement was distributing fairly the annual income for a particular tenant and their family to take out some of the spikes and certainly the drops in both their income and, of course, the way we assess their actual rent. So then a tenant assessment would be more stabilized and, therefore, maybe avoid some of these where they are not paying rent properly in one month and then all of a sudden they’re trying to catch up. Then we always hear the argument of they want to quit their job because they don’t want to pay a high rent that month. If we equalize it over 12 months, that would make a lot more sense. How does the Minister feel about that type of proposal? It would be a lot less
work for the tenant as well as the LHO office assessing people. Thank you.
