I ask Mr. Sheridan to share some of those data and that research. One concern I have is that our efforts to solve some housing issues will have a serious impact on what is happening with tourism. We all want to see many more long-term rentals being made available. It has been asserted before the committee that we could see, as a result of these policy proposals, up to 12,000 additional long-term rental properties. I tabled a Commencement matter on the issue. When will we see those 12,000 properties become available? How confident are the witnesses in standing over that figure of up to 12,000 long-term rental properties being made available as a result of these changes?
