I thought I would perhaps take an extra round. I look forward to the report in response to Ms. McLeod's question.
I just thought members might be interested in a news release that they can find on the Finance Canada website for July 9, 2008, so not the fall of 2008, but July 9, 2008. Perhaps we'll have the staff send this out to all the members: “fixing the maximum amortization period for new government-backed mortgages to 35 years; requiring a minimum down payment of five per cent for new government-backed mortgages; establishing a consistent minimum credit score requirement; and introducing new loan documentation standards”.
I love this website. There's so much fantastic information on it. Everybody really should go to this regularly.
There's more I'd love to read, but really, I think what we should do is follow Ms. McLeod's advice, and we will have a full report on the history of the mortgage market in Canada for the benefit of all members.
Do I have any further...?
I have Ms. McLeod.
