  2. “Well, thank you for your testimony.

And I think that you can guess from the panel here, the sentiment of members of Council, that we have some very challenging times ahead, obviously with the conversation around schools, but the issue around housing and mixing that with the closure of schools, it just didn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. I know that that's not really your lane, but what we're trying to…”
