We will finish up on that.

I thank all the representatives from the former commission. First, I thank them for the time they gave to the commission’s report, considering the amount of personal time they put into it. I found the report extremely insightful. It is disappointing that, after putting time into a report, they were dealt with in the manner they were dealt with, receiving a letter afterwards. That is not acceptable from any Department, to be quite honest. These are people who gave their time voluntarily. It is unacceptable. I thank them for taking the time to come in today, both those online and in person. I found this meeting informative, as I believe all members did. It is important. When we were discussing who the committee wished to speak to in order to inform us, as a lot of us are new members to this housing committee, the Housing Commission was at the top of the list. I thank the witnesses for giving their insights into how they see we can deal with what is an emergency. I thank them all. That concludes the committee's business in public session. I now propose the committee goes into private session to consider other business.
