Thank you, Minister, and thanks to your officials for your attendance today. I was pleased to see that in your opening statement you used terms like "housing crisis" and "emergency situation". This is the manner in which the committee has been addressing the issues.

The committee's report will be available in approximately two weeks' time. Fortunately, this should feed in nicely to the development of the Department's action plan. We are encouraged to hear that the Department's action plan will pay due regard to some of the evidence-based recommendations that the committee hopes to make. I thank the Minister for his attendance. We will suspend the meeting until 2.45 p.m.
