Norm, I'll try to get you out on a happy note and put a smile on your face.
Mr. Duncan talked about cost increases. These are things we're seeing around the world in the supply chain and some of the impacts.
I'm going to read a few things off. You're the only one I know in this room who builds housing. I guess Daniel could help you on the electrician side. There's increasing height in established zones, increasing height in residential and corridor zones, increasing as-of-right development approvals, removing more minimum parking requirements and allowing four units per lot by-right city-wide.
There's been a lot of talk about the municipality. Mr. Perkins talked a lot about Halifax approvals and challenges. Those are some of the conditions that Minister Fraser is putting on the municipality in order to receive federal money for housing.
As a developer, does that move the yardstick in the right direction in dealing with the municipality? By the Government of Canada basically saying that if you want housing money from the Government of Canada, it expects you to do this, does that make your life at least a bit easier in going in the right direction?
