Totally. I completely and utterly agree with the Deputy. That is why it has been one of our focuses. We will not have a political discussion here but we could talk about all our various plans for housing and what we are doing. Unquestionably, vacancy is an area we are very focused on. It is something we want to see continued progress on, but that is for another discussion. I have outlined where there would be real issues. While respecting the motivation that members have in putting these amendments forward, serious problems would be created with those type of changes. I have given my views and the rationale behind them.
