Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you to all of our witnesses for being here today.
I was thinking a lot about this report and its impact and the concerns that the communities have raised, which are very legitimate. I wonder what the intersection is with climate change. I ask this because, over the last year, we had over 420 forest fires. How does that impact housing? How does that impact the living space of communities in areas where, you know...? Being from an urban area myself, I wouldn't even begin to imagine.
Perhaps, Mr. Mitchell, we can start with you, and I would love to hear from everyone on this.
