Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The information systems in government, the corporate history, the ability to track and store in a comprehensive way that is accessible, has bedeviled the government. I am not sure what "there is an increasing uptake" means. Is that from five percent to ten percent of all communities with the Government of the Northwest Territories presently have adequate storage facilities? I am not sure.
It is very tough, it would appear, for the department to have a strong handle on where they would have to encourage. They do not have authority. There has to be some liability issues for the government here in terms of the safe and secure storage of files, of confidential files, of health files, of education files, of contract information, any number of things that would be confidential.
In Fort Smith, if you ask -- probably here as well -- some departments to get stuff, if it is more than a couple of years old, they will throw up their hands and say they do not have the manpower because they have to go to a warehouse someplace and root around a bunch of cardboard boxes trying to find the information. So could the Minister give a time line when they are going to get this more directed approach, this more coordinated plan to deal with this particularly important part of information systems and the knowledge management system? Thank you.
