The point you mentioned was not the point that I was trying to make. The culture at the moment we don't believe pays sufficient attention to good records management as early in the process as is helpful to supporting transparency and accountability. We would like to strengthen the awareness of public servants of the need to do that and provide them with the tools, the policy, and framework within which they can do that, so that as early as possible, as public servants in the course of doing their daily work, they're creating records, they're understanding which records need to be kept, which have business value, which are temporary records that don't need to be preserved, and we have good management practices right from the outset. That's the culture we need to strengthen.
