I thank Mr. O'Flynn. All those opening statements are available on the website now for anybody who wishes to read them.

I wish to clarify a couple of items. We extended an invite to members of the Housing Commission so both sides could be represented, but unfortunately members of the commission who were not on the minority report side were unable to attend due to short notice and other commitments. We have a note from Mr. John O'Connor, who was the chair of the commission, stating we have a Housing Commission report and we have a minority report. Just to clarify, it is not a majority report; it is the Housing Commission report and then we also have a minority report as has been outlined by witnesses. I might also read into the record for anyone not familiar-----
