It was pitched to us as a measure to try to encourage individual smaller landlords rather than landlords with multiple properties to stay in the market. I presume that would have been the basis of the policy decision at that time. Mr. Cullen said that the Department moved to the initial design, the impact analysis and all that. On that point, was any analysis done on how effective it would be and if it would keep individual landlords in the market?
