Alright.
1:22:12
Thank you.
1:22:12
I think you need some more data, but I may say that.

Thank you.

All of that data is voluntarily reported.
1:22:18
So that's a reasonable.
Gale Brewer
1:22:20
And we author the open data bill.
1:22:22
Right?
1:22:22
You could do more data collection on some of these issues.
1:22:26
Really?
1:22:26
I mean, you do need to.
1:22:27
You cannot do policy without data.
1:22:29
Right?
1:22:30
And with all due respect, I know you're strapped for staff.
1:22:33
I got it all.
1:22:34
Work with Jonathan Bowles.
1:22:35
He can get data.
1:22:36
Right?
1:22:37
Figure out how to get more data on some of these issues that have also been asked by my colleagues.
1:22:41
You're really shy on data, if I may suggest that.
1:22:44
Thank you.
