I understand what the Minister is saying. However, it seems that while this gets at what we are trying to do in the amendment to some degree, I am a little concerned that it is a bit limited and does not spell it out in the clearest terms possible. Perhaps the Minister can provide reassurance on this. I want the members to be involved in the discussion before the draft is developed and, just to be clear, that it is guaranteed to happen and is not just a case that they may be or might be involved. It must happen as part of the process that the members are involved in a discussion prior to the draft being prepared by the executive. The Minister can tell me if it is the case that the public must be made aware that a housing strategy is being developed and that we offer people the opportunity to make submissions in the context of the development of that strategy.
