I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their submissions. I read the report some time ago and thought it was excellent. That is why I sought this meeting. I am conscious that we are the Joint Committee on Transport and Communications and that we shadow the Department of Transport. We are entering an era of unprecedented investment into public transport, active transport, public places and the public realm. I am conscious that a majority of this committee are male. I commend the Chair on the timing of this meeting.
