I thank our guests for attending. I accept that they do not have a crystal ball and cannot tell us the way forward. However, the interaction we have had with them is very important in the context of what we propose to do. We will hopefully be meeting the Minister in late October or early November. The issue of homelessness is of critical importance to the committee, as are the other aspects of general housing policy. The position in this regard has never been static and it has changed continually, sometimes for the worse. The exchanges the committee has with the people from the various sectors are extremely important. I thank our guests for their input and for engaging in a very robust exchange of views. They are free to go.
