I welcome Mr. Doyle. It does not seem that long since he was here in January. His opening statement is not that much different from what we heard before. All of the same issues remain: interest rates going up, inflation not falling quickly enough, and access to land. All of these issues are outside Mr. Doyle's control and mine. What is in his control is the viability issue. As he outlined in his opening statement, there are ongoing issues with viability. Will he tell the committee what his Department has done since his last engagement to address the viability issue?
