I thank Ms Loughlin for her answer. However, we have established that, out of the 47,000 we are discussing, it is not likely that many of those will be licensees, who are generally in the rent-a-room category. The properties in question are predominantly detached dwellings in rural areas. We have also established that there is a good likelihood that a significant portion of the 47,000 - certainly not all of them but a significant number - would be required by law to be registered with the RTB. Ms Loughlin has given me the list of people who are not required by law to register with the RTB. I am asking about the number within the 47,000 who are required by law to register with the RTB and what will be done to get registration up among whatever that number is within the 47,000. I accept that we do not know what the number is, but is there going to be a specific approach regarding the subset of the 47,000 that are required by law to register?
