Okay, well that's disappointing to hear. Is there still any opportunities to consult either with the public or with standing committees about the review of the Residential Tenancies Act before the report is finished? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will just maybe rephrase my previous answer. There was engagement with targeted stakeholders and there was a review of the reports of the rental officer, and there will be an opportunity as the amendments to the Act are brought forward for more engagement. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
