Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess I'm trying -- you know, I'm thinking about, you know, the amount of work that goes into I guess trying to evict somebody. And if the rental officer is putting a lot of time into the housing side of things and nobody's getting -- or nobody's getting evicted or they're -- it drags on forever, I'm just thinking either somehow we've got to make sure that, you know, we're putting the resources where it's actually, you know, resulting in something and whether that's on the private side, make sure that they're looked after first, I guess, and the housing corporation, second, if they're not evicting, then -- and the private sector needs a little bit more, you know, more time, I would like to see, you know -- see that happen. And that's just a comment I guess. I just see a waste of time if we're giving out orders and nothing's being done. And if we're giving out orders to the private sector and they're -- and sometimes that private sector might be an elderly couple who own a house and they have to, you know, they've got somebody in there for, you know, three, four, five, six months; they're waiting for, you know, an order to come down because the rental officer's dealing with maybe housing corporation tenants instead. Thank you.
