I have a quick question in regard to affordability.

For the Martin Grove project that you talked about, you said it would be affordable rent.

Do you know what an actual two-bedroom apartment would cost? For example, in my community of Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe, which is next door, I just found out that a three-bedroom apartment now is above $3,300. That's considered to be a community where rent is supposed to be affordable.

What would the new rent look like in an affordable, new building like this Martin Grove project? Out of curiosity, what is the affordability number?
