Thank you, sir.

I do appreciate that. Also, my passion is directed to the minister, not to you. I know you guys are working hard.

Now, with respect to housing, is there any type of economic analysis, one shred of data, you can provide this committee that says, hey, this will reduce the cost of rent by y dollars, even if you have a wide range? I understand that you won't be able to get it within a dollar, but maybe you might be able to get it within a thousand dollars.

Is there any type of economic analysis you could provide this committee to show that this legislation will reduce the cost of rent for Canadians?
