Well, I think those government charges are part of the issue. I mean, they're not the only reason we are where we are today. I think our worry is that for that marginal unit you add to the housing stock, what you're adding is something that's a higher price than people can afford. Unfortunately, you're not building homes that are affordable in sufficient numbers just because the construction or building costs are high. Government charges are part of that equation in some parts of Canada but not everywhere.
