I just want to follow up on Mr. Bittle's question for Mr. Aubé on the technology in our offices.
I declined to participate in the pilot project for the new computers in our constituency offices. When I asked if I could install whatever I needed to on my computers—which I could do on the old ones—they said no. This is more of a request than a question, but it would be very helpful if you could have a much more efficient process for approving software for our computers. There's an awful lot of software that we might want to use that isn't on your very narrow list of proprietary, not-very-secure software that is nominally secure. All the Windows stuff is proprietary, and there is no way of doing proper security oversight.
Meanwhile, there are open-source solutions that are much more secure and much more affordable. I'd like you to look at that. Thank you.
