I will give a short answer to the Deputy's question, but will hopefully cover all of the key points to facilitate an exchange of views on it. I have covered this matter in questions from other Deputies this morning, I will give a broad answer as to the steps we are taking with regard to the availability of data and information. I highlight three, which I believe can make a difference. The first is the publication of the regional reports. That has been underway for each year since 2018. Second, we have a digital map tracker, which is available to allow communities see the status of different projects. We finally publish a regular NDP tracker that again allows stakeholders to see the status of current and future projects. Those are the three different steps we take. I am well aware of the need to move forward the capital projects in a way that is consistent with the national planning framework that in turn aims to deliver regional balance.
