Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being with us this morning.
I'm going to begin by going to Mr. Halinda.
Today's study is on the impacts of the underutilized or underused housing tax on Canadian border communities.
Mr. Halinda, you talked briefly about the uniqueness of our community and the relationships. I always say it's a binational community. Americans have been locating cottages there since the 1800s. I think the Crystal Beach Amusement Park was built in 1888, and the Cherry Hill golf course, which hosted the Canadian Open in 1972, was formed and built in 1922 by nine Americans who were cottage residents there.
I was wondering if you could quickly talk about the uniqueness of our community.
