Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let me tell you, Ms. Farha, that at least on this side of the table—and I'll even speak for my colleague on the other side, Mr. Dusseault, with his permission, of course, and he has nodded his head—we genuinely respect the work you do. We recognize that you have an international focus. Your advice to us here at the committee today, and indeed to the government, is to be valued and appreciated.
I've tried to sift or distill from your presentation what I believe are the key points. Because time is limited, I'll phrase my questions very succinctly. If you could, just reply with yes or no.
For the housing advocate that's been proposed, should the housing advocate be independent of CMHC and the minister, and therefore, the government?
