COMISSÃO DE DESENVOLVIMENTO URBANO

Chair of the session. as well as greet our chairperson in the portfolio committee of human settlements Uh, I'm not going to be long, but please tell me if I should pause as I speak. Um... One of the questions that I was really trying to get to today was, Just trying to have an understanding, as we were hearing earlier, of the backlog related to housing here in Brazil. And I think the backlog was mentioned to be around 6 million houses that are currently backlogged. I really I'm still trying to understand how the country is dealing with the backlog and how they are able to essentially Um, have they been able to bring those numbers down? And if they have, how successfully have they done that? Because I think one of the issues that we're facing in South Africa is the number of the backlog for housing continues to grow even though houses are being built so that's essentially my first question and then lastly Should I stop here before I ask the Lord? Okay. I'm very happy and I'd like to compliment the president of the session. the deputy, we heard in the last two days, many, about the issue of the deficit of habitation. And a number of approximately 6 million people in this situation. So the question is in the sense of what the government has, if this number is real, it's 6 million even, And what the government has done and try to reduce the difference. - Lou Yoldo. Thank you.
