CMP: What is your prediction for the state of the mortgage industry in 2019?
Gert Martens: I think we will see some continued challenges due to the mortgage rule changes … throughout the downturn in the oil & gas sector, Grande Prairie and Northern Alberta has remained fairly strong economically, and the housing market and mortgage industry has remained steady. Alberta has a provincial election coming up, which could bring some big changes to our province, hopefully restoring small businesses and investor confidence in Alberta. This will in turn strengthen our housing market and mortgage industry.
