                                        Alright.

                                        Thank you.

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

                                        Thank you.

                                        All of that data is voluntarily reported.

                                        So that's a reasonable.

                                        And we author the open data bill.

                                        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.
