Thank you, Mr. Chair. We did spend some time early in the fiscal year putting together a request for proposals, did go out and weren’t successful the first time around, and we’re now working with some consulting expertise to consider whether to go out again or whether just to go out and look at what off-the-shelf systems might be available, look at what other jurisdictions are using. But as the Minister indicated, our needs are unique. I mean, every jurisdiction has different legislation, has different ways of construction, caseloads and so on, so what we hope to get done this year is identify a system, but then there’s a considerable amount of work to be done to customize it, to customize it to our needs, to customize it to some of the new initiatives that we’re introducing under the Child and Family Services Action Plan. Then there’s training as well as, right now, because our authorities are not all on a common platform and not all using the same systems, that provides some delays and some complications in actually rolling out the system. This year we’re focusing on, hopefully, selecting a system and the looking at actual customization and implementation over the next year.
