I thank the witnesses for their presentations. Coming from a county that is not suffering the effects of mica, I have more or less been observing what has been happening. Hopefully, we will not see it in my county, as going through this is devastating for any family.

The most critical information we require will be found in the NSAI’s report on IS 465. Were my house affected, I would find it difficult to decide to do anything until after it was published. Deputy Doherty started off the conversation by saying we should make this simple. From what I have been presented with so far today, my understanding is that, once someone gets a certificate of remediation, that person automatically qualifies for mortgage approval and insurance. Is that correct?
