I would say very much so in the eyes of the Urban Development Institute and the Nova Scotia Home Builders Association. We both advocate for that.
Over the last 10 or 15 years in Halifax, there have been increased regulations. There have been increased fees. We're trying to do our best to assess exactly what that amounts to in terms of the dollar amount that takes away from the narrowing profit margin for house builders. House builders have left the market, either willingly because they've decided they can't make any money in that industry in Halifax—and I'm speaking of Halifax in particular, the biggest region in Atlantic Canada—or because they've gone bankrupt. A number of fees, taxes, and regulations have culminated in that. They come from a variety of different government bodies—they could be provincial or municipal—and they accumulate. They've really taken a bite out of the profit that allows people to stay in the business.
I am very much in favour of your point as an idea.
