Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are three basic components to the system in our information management. So there’s what’s called the territorial housing system, which is really our client system. It was implemented on April 1st of last
year. It’s fully implemented now. All of the LHOs are using it and it’s working very well, I think, in terms of there’s always a certain number of growing pains.
But we’re quite pleased with how well it is being used and the information that we’re able to get out of it.
The second system that we’ve developed and implemented recently is an overall asset system so that we can better track exactly the information that you just asked about in terms of not only what our stock is out there and what it looks like, in terms of the age structure and those sorts of things, but any major repairs that have been done with it and the condition ratings and those sorts of things.
Then the third system that was in last year’s business plan was a new maintenance management system. That one was to be developed this year, and it’s on track. It will be implemented on April 1st on a pilot basis in a few
LHOs to test to see that it works well, and then we would hope to roll it all out, so by about July, I guess.
So between those three systems, we now have a good information system on the client side, on the maintenance side, and then on the overall asset side. So I think it’s starting to come together in terms of being able to tell a pretty good story around the housing infrastructure that we have at each community level. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
