We have made a policy change with respect to the taxation of short-term rentals that will make it less appealing for people who own a property to take it off the market so that they can profit from short-term rentals. This is an area where I will ask for everyone's help. Given the nature of your question, I think we likely agree that this is an opportunity to free up, for families, housing that is not being used currently for anything beyond short-term stays.
I would welcome the recommendations of this committee should you choose to study measures the federal government can impose to actually reduce the number of homes that are being used for short-term rentals, particularly where they exist in communities where families need homes, and these days that's just about everywhere.
