I thank the witnesses for their commitment to evolving Part B to cater for mass-timber buildings. I appreciate that and think we are going in the right direction. I understand the conservative position we need to take relative to over jurisdictions where developments, as the Chair, Deputy Matthews, said, have reached eight storeys and well above that. That said, with the revised Part B technical guidance documents, can a client work, through their fire officer, with the fire department to achieve four to eight storey mass-timber buildings, whether they are apartments or offices, under the current legislation to achieve a fire cert?
