I thank the witnesses for coming before the committee and providing information. We have a lot of work to do. We will pick their brains to understand what they are doing well and what we can improve on. We all need to work together for housing so I thank the witnesses.

My first question is slightly different from the other questions that were asked. I have asked and will ask it of every local authority before the committee. When people go into rehabilitation or recovery and spend three months, six months or longer there, does the council remove them from the housing list or suspend their claim while they are in rehabilitation?
