Mr. Chairman, I'm just going to respond to two particular points the Member brought up, then I'll have Bruce respond as well. I'd like to point out two things here. The department, in the time that I've been a Minister -- about four years now -- we've been continuously told to keep costs down; do whatever we could to keep costs down. Then when we do, we're criticized for doing it. We're saving $100,000 here, but nobody cares. They say it could have been spent better elsewhere, or the advantages would have been better or we could have seen more than $100,000 worth of benefits. I'm getting one message one way, and then another message when I do it the other way.
The second thing is, for the same four years I've been hearing from the Members that they want everybody to have the same kind of computer equipment in this government. They were criticizing the departments for everybody having their own brand of computer equipment. So here I have a department that is trying to stay within the type of equipment that they're familiar with, and furthermore, from the information I'm given, it would simplify delivery, installation, troubleshooting and warranty. Well, from my point of view, that satisfied the other point that the members have been bringing up steadily; that everybody have the same type of computers. So that's what I've been doing here, and that's why I agreed with the department's decisions. Mind you, the decision was made before it was brought to me. But that's to allow them to manage. I don't manage this thing every day, they do. But if an issue is raised, then I do look to see if we are meeting the government's policies. As far as I'm concerned, we're meeting the government's policies and we're meeting the concerns expressed by the Members. I'll ask Bruce if he has anything to add to that.
