I am very interested in both of these propositions. All of my questions are aimed at getting as much clarity as possible in terms of the general scheme.

It would be really helpful to the committee if, in a simplified way, Mr. Hogan talked us through what would happen if the general scheme as outlined were enacted and somebody secured zoning for a residential development on a newly purchased site. I presume only newly purchased or newly zoned sites will apply. How will the process work?

The other tax is obviously a land activation measure. From everything I have heard so far, it is really about raising revenue for investment in infrastructure on the land. Could Mr. Hogan speak to that also as we proceed?
