We're also looking at another cut, this one to the fund to acquire technology. If I'm not mistaken, it's about $5,000 a year to acquire new equipment for a member's office. That is going to be eliminated. Do we know to what extent that fund has been used in the past? On average, would we say that for MPs' offices that budget had generally been spent completely, or was it often the case that they didn't spend it at all? Do we have any information?
