Thanks, Madam Chair. Can I get an explanation as to why this is being shifted from what used to be or will soon be former Department of Lands to Department of Finance. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, ISSS or information shared system services within Finance is now managing the LTOS project so that's why it is going there. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So, you know, I think it was in the last Assembly -- I think it was in the last Assembly where 77 staff people were kind of culled from different departments that had been previously working on different, you know, IT stuff, and they're all put into Finance now and -- because it was apparently going to be more effective and efficient. Has there actually ever been an evaluation done of the transfer of the funding and staff into the Department of Finance? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Not as of yet. This is only the first sort of -- well, this will be the first full Assembly where ISSS has been in existence. So I don't know that -- and with the two years that were somewhat lost to COVID, I don't know that we would have been in a position at this point. But certainly the Department of Finance, including ISSS, has been part of the government renewal process and is live to the fact that we're shifting towards a more evaluative process. So I'll certainly take note of the Member's comments and can report back to the department and see where and when we would fall within a more evaluative process. Thank you.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So is there any kind of annual satisfaction survey ever done of ISSS and the services that they offer to the departments? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I gather there has been some work done internally within the government as to their satisfaction with ISSS. That was done on the operations side. But I can endeavour to see what information may be available. Thank you.

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I would be very interested in seeing that because I -- I've heard rumblings about some departments not being able to get work done in a timely fashion or that they have to go outside, and there seems to be some issues there. And not knowing enough about it, if there was some information that the Minister could share and if it has to be done on a confidential basis, that's okay in this case, but I'm not convinced that this move of these 77 people and centralizing this has actually made anything more effective or efficient. So anything the Minister can provide on that in satisfactions levels of the departments that they're supposed to be providing a service to would be helpful, and I look forward to receiving that information. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So to clarify, we'll provide the copy of the survey results confidentially to MLAs but I would also say we'll put something together that we could put together with the public information that is coming as a result of commitments. I know it does get raised in the House with respect to IT projects and what's happening with them. And there are -- you know, it takes a bit of time for a new team to come together, and I know there's been some projects, Mineral Resources Act being one, that wind up going back to a department function. So some understanding as to the benefits of having moved IT together is probably valuable. So we'll do both in terms of providing the private results but also something that can be shared. Thank you.
