That is not the basis on which I am asking that question. The RTB is giving the Department information relating to the amount of rent somebody is paying. In many cases, the Department knows, and its representatives told us this last week, that 28% of people are topping up that payment. The information that is being given to the RTB is wrong in a substantial number of cases because it is not reflective of the actual tenancy. Those payments are topped up by the tenants. I do not know if the RTB appreciates that.
