Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I see that Mr. Bard may not be sworn in when he appears before the Board of Internal Economy. As a member of the Board, I swear an oath and I cannot disclose the delicate issues discussed in this forum. Earlier, in response to a question, Mr. Bard replied that some options had been discussed by the Board of Internal Economy. I don't wish to get on his case, but perhaps he should not have been so forthcoming. In any event, that is beside the point.
I have a question for you, Mr. Bard. Better-performing computers have been installed in Members' offices. However, it seems that the House systems and servers are not equipped to support this new technology. Basically, the new computers are slower than the old ones.
Have you set aside any funds in your budgets to upgrade the IT infrastructure of the House of Commons?
I also have two additional questions about the restaurant.
