That is very helpful. I do not have any more questions. The committee will probably have to go away to discuss this. It could potentially be a very good and progressive idea, but there is probably work that will need to happen on the legislation itself. Both sides have raised the problems and issues and it is up to us whether we come down on the side of increasing tenant's rights or whether we are concerned about people's investments. I know where I sit on that but it is for the committee to discuss privately how we make this legislation simple and robust. It is probably overly complicated for what it is trying to achieve at the moment.
