Open government is good government. I have always believed that and is something that I have tried to ensure, such as in my previous role in the Department of Finance, where the whereyourmoneygoes.gov.iewebsite was set up to give people clarity about where their taxes go. Any transparency about what we are doing in housing is welcome because it is such a major concern for people. We are improving things at every step. For instance, in the case of the Residential Tenancies Board, annual registration of tenancies will give us much better data than we have now and make it more readily available.
