Hold on one second. The Minister is in his job because we facilitate that. That is why he is there and he should have no doubt about it. I would prefer if he was more concerned about the 10,000 people who are homeless or about the people who cannot buy houses.

I want to address the point made earlier that homelessness is not in this motion. We will be discussing homelessness in committee tomorrow. This motion relates to affordability. I have written to the Minister on two occasions recently in respect of homelessness and have yet to receive a response, bar an acknowledgement, which I have here-----
