Mr. Chair, this is basically making explicit what is implicit in the bill, that we are trying to fulfill our obligations as undertaken by governments of all different political parties internationally, and this gives us a linkage to some of those aspirations that we've already passed and debated, and so on, in past generations of parliamentarians. It is creating a firm link between a national housing strategy and our already existing international obligations.
