- Implementation would involve technology and staffing costs

I think that in any expansion of work that we do, there's always it always comes with a technology and staffing cost.
0:12:51
That have to be incurred.
0:12:52
So we would have to look at that seriously and understand what differences in the information that we're collecting.
0:12:57
So if we have to collect information in a different way, comes with a tech and staff challenges.

If we are packaging it or putting it up in a different way, we'd have to evaluate as well.

Some of the database that some of the information that we're referring to that we already published online is in accordance with local law 44.

Mhmm.

So making sure that we don't have conflicting requirements And then, again, as the Percepti commissioner was saying, that we're aligning as much as possible is always a focus.
