Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, in looking at the policy and the way it's -- it rolls out is that, you know, there's a flaw in there in the sense that if you have a couple and one's 65 years and over and the other one's younger, they're forced -- if they want to use that tax relief program, the only way they could do it is for one person, the younger one, to be removed from title, which is -- which is interesting because if for some reason one of them passed away, then, you know, they're -- they're put in a position where the -- where the house has to probably go through probate versus just going through a straight survivorship. And you know, there's added cost to that as well. So, you know, as -- I'm hoping that, you know, that's something that through this process that that's considered. Because all it is is, you know, we're forcing them to do something that we shouldn't -- they shouldn't have to do. It just doesn't make sense to me because, you know, if you got a couple, they're a couple and that's it, whether one's 65 and the other one's younger. So is that something that would be looked at as well? Thank you.
