I appreciate that but we cannot deal with rough, back-of-the-envelope figures when we are looking at addressing long-term rental. If we are looking at the back of the envelope, Mr. Sheridan is essentially saying that if we take 12,000 units out of the tourism sector, all 12,000 will become available in the long-term rental sector. When we further consider this matter, I ask that we consider the planning guidelines, as proposed, and their impact. As colleagues who deal with rural planning probably know, it is not as simple to seek rural planning as one may think.
