Mr. Michael O'Flynn:

I am not saying some individuals will not succeed with this constitutional change but it will not resolve it for the masses of people who are short housing. It will not resolve anything in terms of the shortage and crisis we have. We need to solve the housing crisis. We do not need to come up with an amendment to the Constitution; that will not make any significant difference. That is why, having considered the report, I am interested, as an individual appointed to the Housing Commission, in making a difference in solving the bigger crisis. I am not against any individual situation being resolved but let us look at how to deal with the big crisis and resolve it. That is the policy and legislative change to which Dr. Lyons alluded. In our expert group, we had serious legal input because it is not our area of expertise but we also had practical input as to how to do this better. We think the minority suggestion and wording is a far better solution. We are all on the same side. We are all trying to resolve a crisis. It is about how to do it best.
