I thank all the witnesses for joining us here. One of the first questions I have for them relates to those who are being subjected to harassment and who are voluntarily leaving their homes and those who are being asked, as part of court proceedings, to vacate the premises. Where do they go to for accommodation after that and are they finding there is a problem with some who are giving up their home voluntarily in getting on the housing list? To get on a housing list, one must have no claim over a property. This is something I have encountered on a number of occasions. I would like to hear the witnesses' thoughts on this. Are those people being accommodated in an adequate manner?
