Without revealing the secrets of the sanctum sanctorum of the Board of Internal Economy, I wouldn't like to suggest that we've been rebuffed in our requests. We have tried to be strategic about when we come forward with an ask. This was our approach this year on information technology security. We held back, however, on more funds for human resources development. I think that might be something that we will be coming forward with next year. The information technology requires a continual investment.
With respect to our own responsibility as parliamentary public servants, we understand that we have to decide on priorities. What I don't want is to get into a situation in which an extended period of neglect would cause us to require a massive investment just to catch up. I think we're doing fairly well right now in terms of a balance. If we play our cards right, we can come forward gradually with investments that will pay off in the long term.
