As a supplementary.... I talk to my staff, obviously. They're responsible to look after my stuff. I'm assuming that this is going to be as administratively easy as possible for all concerned. I know there have been some glitches as we've changed some of the reporting mechanisms, as we've changed some of the categories and stuff for how things are allocated and so on.
I'm assuming the goal of this is it will be as user-friendly as possible, both for staff in MPs' offices as well as for the administrative and IT staff that will be doing this and making sure the disclosures are done. Are we able to find ways to decrease the amount of paper flowing back and forth?
One of the things I get a complaint about is it seems we're duplicating things. We're sending stuff electronically, but then we're also sending in all the paper backup. I'm not necessarily opposed to that, but it's time-consuming.
Is there any thought around looking at ways around that to make it more user-friendly and not doubling up the workload?
