Mr Speaker, very briefly—and this relates to our ability to do our jobs—will you confirm that the parliamentary computer network used by MPs and staff continues to run Internet Explorer 6.0, which is no longer supported and ensures that we are unable to open some work-related sites including, I understand, some government sites in our daily work? When will Explorer be upgraded to the current version, Internet Explorer 8.0? Can you also confirm that the Adobe version 7 PDF reader is currently used? It is an obsolete software program. When will we be able to download the free version 9 Adobe PDF reader so we can do our jobs?
