Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, that does help. I am trying my best to understand this area because I think it actually does not get often the oversight it needs. IT projects are notorious for going over budget, and software is very expensive. It's one of those areas where we spend millions and millions of dollars. I think many people's eyes just glaze over when it starts getting talked about, but it is not an insignificant part of the budget, both finances, procurement of software, and the ultimate management through this ISSS. I have spoken previously to the Minister about having an open data portal. Sorry. Also, in my list of areas that I forgot to mention, there is the NWT statistician, who is another office I often go to when I want to try to get some information about where information is. I believe ultimately there is a lot of work to do in kind of compiling this, what all the various departments have and the various roles and maybe having it in a very nice, searchable, open data portal. That is my dream. Can I get an update from the Minister on that work and if and when we can expect to see an open data portal? Thank you, Madam Chair.
