Thank you.
Mr. Lyall, in your opening statement and in your responses to earlier questions, you mentioned, more than once, taxes being the obstacle or the principal driver of the cost of housing. The GST is one, and we do support the removal of it. We agree with you that the government could have chosen to go further.
What about other taxes? There's an industrial carbon tax that affects the cost of producing raw materials. If you want to talk more about development charges, the committee, I think, would like to hear some more details about how taxes make housing more expensive.
