I understand that this is your business model, as is the case with other companies such as Amazon or Netflix. However, this poses problems for the Standing Committee on Finance in terms of tax revenue for our social programs and the government's actions.
I am the member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie. Many people in my riding rent their apartment to tourists, and we understand that. We agree with the concept of the sharing economy. However, we receive many complaints from our constituents about certain abuses. Apartments are purchased for the sole purpose of renting them on Airbnb, which causes a very large turnover of people who become tenants of those apartments.
My good friend Amir Khadir has introduced a bill proposing that this system include a time limit of up to a maximum of 60 days a year. This would ensure that the homes are for people who are real residents, who could rent their apartments on the side, not as a main use.
How do you see that and what is your position on it?
