Again, that's in the clerk's area. There's a group devoted to corporate information management service that also deals with records management and freedom of information requests. So there is a budget for the people who work there. That information is available online, but I will get it for you so you have that focused information. There are professionals who deal with that, and then there's the time of people in the program to source the information. There's more than just the budget for that area. There are the people who have to provide the information from the programs.
As I said earlier, we can estimate what those savings would be, based on past experience of how long it took and how much effort it took--and in the IT area, how much processing we have to do to find and search all of the e-mails, which in some cases go back years. So we do a lot of processing, and that takes away from our day-to-day work in servicing the public, and so on. The more data online, the less of this there is. Being more transparent means a lot of savings in many different ways, and better services. I can get you some estimates on that and the budget of the area that actually processes.
We don't expect that area to shrink, because they do a lot of different things. But the amount of coverage they can do.... Again, because the kinds of requests coming in are more focused now and they can get the rest of the information on the more general requests up on the open data and other parts of the web, it means that the professionals can deal with them more quickly because they're more focused. So there's another value--not only saving money--in giving better service.
I want to underline the value point that even though we're getting fewer, we're getting more focused requests. And that, by its very nature, improves the response we can give to the public. But as I said earlier, I can certainly supply the estimated savings from that and the budget information on how we do the processing today.
