I thank the witnesses. I ask the them to reflect on the architecture involved. We have what I think is the second iteration of the national implementation plan. What are the witnesses' reflections on that? Is it a useful benchmark? Are there gaps? What is the witnesses' assessment of the plan? Will they speak to an issue that has been raised a number of times, namely, the data and information deficit? There are gaps in information. With regard to the national implementation plan, there is a considerable body of work to be done in order to imbed this into policy and decision-making and to have Departments take a cross-cutting approach to it. Will the witnesses comment on the progress that has taken place and the opportunities to do better?
