The perspective I am taking is that the equity return on cost rental should be provision of affordable cost rental housing, long-term secure tenancies, fixed to the consumer price index. The focus of cost rental should not be profitability but affordability. That is why I make the point about the equity return. I think it should be defined as limited equity return in order to define that is our objective on cost rental housing.

I will put a similar question to the CCMA.
