I’m glad to be able to ask a question. I’m trying really hard not to use the word “forthwith,” and now it’s the only word I want to use because I’ve been told I’m not supposed to.

Interjections.

Speaker, I am glad to ask a hopefully thoughtful question on behalf of the tenants and small community landlords in my community that are just struggling to provide housing, to find housing, to keep housing. When there are disputes, when things go sideways, they are just left in limbo because the Landlord and Tenant Board is in such a state. It’s in such shambles.

My question is, when we look at this piece of legislation that says it’s going to cut red tape to build more homes act and whatnot, folks don’t have the homes they need, and they certainly don’t have the ability to resolve disputes. Is there anything in this bill for small landlords and tenants?
