Thank you.
I have a question for Mr. Bard. I'll come back to you later, Mr. Speaker, Madam Clerk.
Mr. Bard, you're familiar with my love of third party software. No doubt you remember that I was in love with my Palm Pilot system because I could easily incorporate into the system software supplied by companies other than the manufacturer of the Palm Pilot. The same is true of BlackBerry devices. It's quite an industry. Software is developed by third parties and there are all kinds of benefits to this.
Yet, on the Hill, we do not appear to be treated like private sector companies or other governments. You do not allow users of BlackBerry devices to add software other than the software supplied by BlackBerry. I'm not calling into question your staff's expertise, but in this modern age, we are just about the only ones who cannot add software to our devices.
Is there any hope at all that sometime in the not-too-distant future, this decision might be reversed, Mr. Bard?
