I thank everybody. That concludes our consideration of matters today. I take the opportunity to thank the representatives of the Housing Agency and the LDA for giving their time and giving us an opportunity to consider their views, and to ask questions and get the pertinent answers. We look forward to working with them. We will no doubt meet again within a short period. As Chair, my view is we need to meet on a regular basis. As I said, housing is an emergency that needs lots of arms of the State. There are a lot of cogs to be turned and changed. It is not one simple quick fix. We are here to ask questions on behalf of the taxpayer and to support getting those changes made. The role of both organisations is to activate housing. That is what we want to see happen. I thank them very much. That concludes the committee's business in public session. I propose the meeting goes into private session to consider other business.
