Mr. John McCarthy:

It would be through the CCMA, at chief executive level or at a more granular level, there are sub-committees on housing. Mr. Conn Murray is the chairperson of the CCMA housing sub-committee and there is a sub-committee on finance as well. We engaged with the local authorities to try to get improved performance across each of the 31 local authorities, rather than separating them into the category of being very good and the category of not so good. We sat down and collectively worked through a target for increased rates collection across the local government sector.

In the first two years of that exercise, the target was exceeded. This is a practical demonstration of where we used some of the information that was pulled together in the overview report to follow up with the sector on a number of issues.
