Procedure and House Affairs committee No, no, there's no doubt that we always work really hard on our awareness campaigns for the members, providing you with information kits, documents, doing your inventory, assessing your computers. We have laptop clinics. When you come back from a summer recess, we watch in the ch

Procedure and House Affairs committee If members are interested, I think we can give you a package that can be used to assess your own situation. We can find ways to review this on a regular basis to make sure that we prompt you to look at this.

Procedure and House Affairs committee I think there's a high level of vulnerability, especially if you travel to foreign countries, because they probably know you are coming and somehow they will be watching you or observing who is out there and will follow you through the process. This is where your choice of techno

Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes. We offer that service—not sending somebody to your local office, but we can arrange to provide consultation and work with your office and advise you accordingly.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Well, it's really the member's privilege to ask for this.

Procedure and House Affairs committee It could be spam. There are a lot of rules. The e-mail has to be valid, it has to be addressed properly, it has to have a proper sender. You cannot send an e-mail just to “Parliament”; it has to be addressed to a member of Parliament. Also, you cannot replace who the sender is. I

Every threat you can find out there, Parliament is noted somewhere because of the symbol of Parliament. We are,

Procedure and House Affairs committee No, my first comment is that we have to realize that the CPAC agreement is the best one in the world. It costs Parliament zero dollars. It's a consortium of cable companies that pays for that. If tomorrow CPAC were to shut down its services and I had to put something else in plac

Procedure and House Affairs committee Things are going very well. In general, the overall feedback is very good. We understand the element. It's always a challenge to have members understand the rules of broadcasting, to understand that they are on camera. At the debriefing of new members of Parliament, we say this a
