I sought clarification on the figures, which are extremely important. According to the Private Residential Tenancies Board, both the number of tenancies and the number of landlords have increased. I will provide Mr. O'Brien with the figures because he indicated the number of landlords had not increased. Between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, the number of landlords increased by 16,000 and currently stands at 172,000.
