Mr. John Burns:

I said the Senator asked if there was a need for an agency. I would agree with the Senator that there is not a need. However, there is a huge need for the existing agencies to work much closer together and to be encouraged and, sometimes, directed to work closely together around an identified issue, such as homelessness and problem tenancies, which are related. There should be a direction on the particular departments to work closely together until something is done with it.
