Mr. Speaker, when equipment nears the end of its life cycle, we always replace it with the most up to date software. Whether it was going to be Vista or some other software, it was the right time to take the plunge. All constituency offices are now coming to the point where they will have to upgrade and this software has been very successful. We have also received many compliments from the caucuses.
When we sold the Board on the idea last year, we also supplied all constituency offices with three copies of the software and with the necessary support for installation. However, the software is not mandatory, and you can continue to use XP and your current equipment. Members can use their constituency office replacement budget if they wish to replace their own computers. Training and installation programs are available. All Members have to do is ask for them.
