Thank you very much.
Would you agree with me that governments have something very valuable that they use? Governments don't have any money; they only have the money of the taxpayers, your money and mine. Governments tend to be averse to risk, and governments have programs for crime reduction.
Let's say a government wanted to steer some of those valuable tax dollars towards crime prevention, or any kind of program for that matter, and they wanted to make sure that a desired measurable outcome occurred in a relatively short time. Governments put money into crime prevention, have a program, and hire...you know, there are a lot of people in the government who want to make it work, and they do other things.
But specifically related to working with another sector, whether it's for-profit or not-for-profit, would you agree that the measuring sticks we would use in utilizing social financing...? Usually they're three- to five-year outcomes, and then there's the measuring. Usually the parameter is around five-year outcomes. Would you agree with me that it's worth the risk?
Then I want you to talk about how you reduce those risks. I note that your CFO of Finance for Good wrote that he's trying to reduce the risks associated with things like SIBs.
That's giving you lots to chew on, and you have probably three minutes to do it in.
