Alright.

1:22:12

Thank you.

1:22:12

I think you need some more data, but I may say that.

UNKNOWN

1:22:15

Thank you.

1:22:16

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.
