I am happy to come back to the Deputy with a comparison of that charge. I will get that information for him. I go back, however, to the answer I gave a few moments ago. Looking at the total number of homes that were surveyed in the self-assessed vacant property tax project we did, there are many legitimate reasons a home could be vacant, reasons for which I believe it is appropriate not to tax such homes. I laid out what those reasons were in my earlier answer to the Deputy. He will agree that 6,000 homes is an awful lot of homes. If we were successful over time in getting more and more of them available and getting families and renters into them, that would show the value of this tax.
