Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I'll start with Mr. Lee.

I've had a number of conversations since last fall, when we announced the GST removal on purpose-built rentals, with local construction firms as well as housing advocates about the benefit that flows through to those who are trying to reduce the cost of building affordable rentals.

Can you talk about what it means to those who you deal with in terms of the benefits that accrue to those in the industry?
