Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to our guests for taking time out of their schedules to give us some valuable input. The folks up in Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo area work closely with Brian Jean, the member of Parliament for that area. I know he speaks on many occasions about the need for infrastructure improvement. I know he worked hard to get the highway twinned up there, and as you said, it was definitely from a safety perspective as well as for economics.
On the aspect of housing, I've chatted with him several times about that, because I represent the Okanagan. In B.C. we have some serious issues about affordability of rental housing.
One of the questions I have for Mr. Lutes is in your submission you talk about the need for the federal government to remove the rental housing disincentives from the federal tax policy. Maybe you could elaborate a little more on exactly what those disincentives are from your perspective.
