Dr. Shawna Coxon:
It is too early days to say. I know what the Deputy is getting at. I am happy to share further as we go along on the journey. I want to mention three things. The network has to be upgraded, so there is work ongoing with the OPW. It is not as straightforward as the Deputy might think. The cameras align to a back-end product, the evidence-management system, which is really important and not straightforward. Then, of course, we have the cameras themselves. It is an ecosystem and I know Deputy Commissioner Kelly has done a ton of work on this. The next phase is to bring together all the pieces that are required for procurement. We can buy most of it together as an ecosystem. We are not close to making a determination on that. We have to go through a formal tendering process. That will take some months but it is the next stage.
