Thank you, Mr. Chair. Indeed, the MARS system is required for online map staking, and it has been pushed back in terms of it delivery date more than once, and I have sat in this very chair on that topic more than once. Mr. Chair, I share some frustration on this one. There's a few different factors at play. One of which is that the MARS Project also depends on the LTOS Project, which is Land, Tenure, Optimization System I believe. And that project has experienced itself also some challenges. But I -- you know, again, every time I'm here, it seems like we're in a good place and I'm conscious that I -- as I said, I know I've said these things before sitting right here but it's my understanding at this point that LTOS is moving along but it's been -- that had its planning stage developed in the fall of 2023 or a little -- well, more functional planning done in November 2023. That, once LTOS is complete which will be happening other the coming fiscal year, then the MARS Project can get underway and be done in line with the LTOS system, which I believe it is essentially going to be layered upon.
So, Mr. Chair, I can simply say, not to go on at great length, I know the Member asked for time, but I have asked a number of times why this is so difficult and it's been pointed out to me that sometimes the idea on a cyber project doesn't come with enough planning and that when we actually dig in to how to do the thing it's not that dissimilar to any other capital project that it takes a significant amount of design and structure. So, again, I'd be happy to perhaps -- this is one that may well warrant a full briefing with committee, to be honest. I have several pages of material on this project in front of me. Thank you.
