Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
My area is Sarnia—Lambton. It's on the border, and there are beautiful communities where people from the U.S. have bought cottages in Brights Grove, Port Lambton, Sombra and Ipperwash.
I think, although the intention of this regulation was noble—we're trying to solve an affordable housing crisis that's come on since 2015—the way it was implemented is a problem, so I would say two things. The first solution I can see is that there should be a grandfathering. These people who have owned properties for years and years that have passed down through generations clearly should be grandfathered. Secondly, anyone who is considered to be exempt should not even have to file, because it's $800 to file and it's such an aggravation.
Mr. Halinda, would you agree with that?
