—in 1999, aging infrastructure was identified by the government as a problem. We did an audit in 2010 that reiterated that. Decades of chronic underfunding has brought the government to such a place. I think there needs to be better leadership globally to see a change here. There needs to be better information around exactly how many systems need to be modernized and how many are not needed anymore. More importantly, we have to look at the funding mechanisms, which are poorly suited to major IT projects. There are lots of good recommendations for the government to work on.
