Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you also to the witnesses for being here. I will use the remaining five minutes to ask Mr. Richter some questions.
Mr. Richter, my first question is one to be developed. You listed all of your recommendations to promote, strengthen and ensure long-term affordability. We are talking now about stopping financialization, which our study wants to support. One of the options you suggested is to “make purchasing existing rental housing less economically attractive”. You also propose to “tax purchases of rental housing by private investors above a certain number of units”.
Can you elaborate on these proposals?
