Mr. Speaker, I believe there are a couple of reasons. One is some of the information that the government has is not easily accessible or available in the format that communities require them, simply because of the way we keep books and statistics and compile information. The other reason is the workload of departments. We have asked for this information, but there is other work that departments are doing. While it is a priority, it is difficult sometimes to get all the work done that is required within the time lines that are set up by this Legislature and the government itself.
As the Member might gather, we have chosen not to go around with a big stick and beat up on departments. We need them to feel good about this work, to feel that there's great merit in delivering the goods as called upon by the communities. We're working with these departments to make information available as soon as possible.
