We've received many, and we've taken the position that we will support changes to this tax as it relates to our American seasonal residents. As I said, we have 900 properties in Fort Erie that are owned by Americans. They're part of our community, so they pay taxes. They pay the property taxes just like everyone else, based on the value of their homes. Some of these homes are very valuable homes. They're valuable, of course, to the families, but in terms of taxation, they carry a heavy tax burden. They provide us with some of the taxes that we rely upon, but, more importantly, they're part of our community. As Ms. Wright mentioned, they support our local businesses. They participate in our festivals. They go to our library. They're patrons of many of the social activities that go on in our community, so we consider them to be, as I said, part of our community in every sense of the word.
We've provided them with the support. As I said, I've corresponded with the minister. I've had numerous conversations with both you and Mr. Vance Badawey, who's in the next riding on Lake Erie. Any support we can provide, we've been prepared to do that, including assisting the government in notifying our seasonal residents at any time of any information they would need.
