The question is specific because there are some suggestions from the Government that some of the changes could be made without rents for existing renters going up more than is currently the case. I do not see how that is possible. I am not asking Dr. O'Toole whether making the changes is good or bad but to state, based on an assessment of the facts, whether rents for existing renters would rise at a faster rate than is currently the case if any one or all three of the changes were made, all things being equal.
