I thank Mr. O'Rourke. The witnesses will be aware that the work of the LDA is of great importance and interest to the committee. The committee spent a lot of time on the Land Development Agency Bill last year, and the Affordable Housing Bill, which brings cost rental into legislation for the first time ever. Many of us have worked long on this to see it in legislation. Mr. Coleman had said previously that the LDA would concentrate on cost rental, and I am glad to see that reiterated in the submission to us. It is an area we are keen to discuss during the meeting.

Will now move on to members and the questions they may have.
