In my view, from the days of yore until a year ago, I do not think we have come very far in terms of knowing whom we had in our guardianship. In the process of going through files, we found some things that were tremendously upsetting and tremendously unacceptable to us. As I say, we have been working hard board-by-board and very much on a pay per basis at this point, to make matters right for each of the children who are in our care, to improve the records around them and to improve the issues, the care management plan around them. What we need to do in the next steps is to create a way to test that data, to have access to it inside our offices from very board, but we need a way to support both field workers and the superintendent to do updates on files or to do file monitoring around agreements and court appearances. We have a tremendous amount of work to do to automate that whole area. Thank you.
