Thank you, Madam Chair. IT capital assets are intended to be tracked in their life cycle and amortization through our tangible capital asset system within the Government of the Northwest Territories. Much of the software licensing cost is not a one-time cost. It's an ongoing O and M cost to maintain those licenses, and so that cost and those expenditures are distributed across the organization based on the department or the area that's expending the dollars. We are undertaking some work to improve and consolidate fiscal transparency out of the OCIO across the INT sector. It's early days at this stage, and it's really intended primarily to help with our governance through our deputy minister committee and to make sure that we're spending both O and M and capital dollars on the initiatives and priorities that are most important. Thank you, Madam Chair.
