I have, absolutely.
The feedback that we've been hearing has been exceptionally positive to date. When we meet with our members across the country in our regional committees, and they in turn report back on what they're hearing from clients, from Canadians from coast to coast, people are really excited about this. They're relieved about this.
Extending the 30-year amortization mortgages provides relief for those first-time homebuyers by lowering those monthly payments. I think it's a great step. We believe that extending it to not just first-time homebuyers but all buyers would give families more flexibility in managing their monthly payments. It would make home ownership more attainable in the current market.
It's not going to solve all the housing issues. As I said, there's no magic wand that we could wave. If there were, I would have a much easier time at places like a committee like this—thank you for having me—and it would provide essential relief for families facing high mortgage costs.
