What the Deputy is proposing, I would respectfully suggest, is adding to the insecurity, adding to the lack of certainty around that. What we need to do is retain those who are renting out their homes at the moment in the rental market and we need to attract new people in with properties to rent to increase the supply. What the Opposition is looking for, in our considered opinion, would damage supply and exacerbate the situation. That is the fundamental point here. There is no one cruel here in this House. No one has a monopoly of empathy. Everybody here wants to do the right thing-----
