Usually, a member will initially direct a question to somebody, but if you want to comment, please indicate to me or to our assistant clerk, Kath Byrne. Stacey, as you are online, put an R in the chat function if you want to come in.
Charlotte Lee and Duncan Sharp, as you are appearing virtually, you can indicate that you want to come in by typing R in the chat function. As, I think, witnesses already know, there is no need to turn your microphones on and off—that will be done for you.

David, as you are appearing virtually, please indicate that you wish to come in by putting an R in the chat function. Annie Wells will begin the questions.
Sherina and Mike, as you are appearing virtually, please do that by typing R in the chat function. I will open with a couple of questions on the rent cap.
