I have that here in my notes. We would like to hear about timelines on the urban development zones, UDZs, or the land value sharing and urban development zones Bill, because we do see that they are going to cross at some point here, and we as a committee will have to carry out the pre-legislative scrutiny on that. The transitional arrangements are critical to this as well, for example, if section 50B were to remain in place until that better scheme was decided and approved. That would probably be helpful to see as well.

I thank the witnesses for their time, and we are going to ask the secretariat to drop everything and concentrate for the next three weeks on getting a report. We have had a considerable number of public meetings and a lot of written submissions, so it is a huge body of work to take on, and then we have to agree on it as a committee. We will get it to the witnesses as soon as possible.
