Thank you, Minister, and thank you, Mr. Chair. You are quite correct, Mr. Beaulieu. There are some lots in communities that we have discussed where it was a commercial property, and it didn't pan out, and they kept it just as residential. The lot is sometimes twice the size of a normal residential lot, so they are paying, a lot of times, twice the amount of lease payments. Any community has a bylaw to change it back to residential. It could be surveyed, going through MACA and ourselves, surveyed, and the lot could be split in half into residential lots dropping their payments probably by at least 50 per cent. The taxes would also go down dramatically. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
