Thank you Mr. Chair and thank you to both witnesses.
I was going to say, very quickly, Ms. Phillips, that I'm familiar with some of your projects and they're beautiful. It's a treat to meet somebody who's designed something like that.
I'm sorry, Mr. Moses. I'm not familiar with your projects, but I'm sure they're beautiful as well.
I want to focus on the challenges that we face approving new technologies. You've both spoken about this. I'm a big fan of mass timber. In my previous life, I spent a lot of time with the forestry industry that supports this kind of mass timber stuff. I love it; I think it's great.
Kevin Lee was here speaking very specifically about housing and the challenges related to the Canadian Construction Materials Centre and how slow it is to approve new technologies.
I'll ask you both if you can briefly speak to this.
What specific reforms do you think could be introduced to the Canadian Construction Materials Centre to reduce the time and cost required for new technologies to be recognized as acceptable code solutions while maintaining safety and quality standards?
I'll start with you, Ms. Phillips, if you could give me your top two things that you'd change.
