I would like to talk about computer expenses. I will have lots of questions for Mr. Bard, when my second turn comes around. There is something wrong with the way acquisitions are authorized for computer equipment. You are offering us equipment that is too expensive and which is all provided by the same company. There is no reason why we should be refused permission to install equipment of equal quality, that is less costly, but does not appear on your list. In times of economic crisis, everybody has to do their share. For example, I consider that $300 for a scanner is an outrageous price.
