I propose to take Questions Nos. 309, 310, 311, 312 and 313 together.
My Department uses a standard suite of office and administrative software, however, for sound reasons of operational security, it would not be prudent or appropriate to disclose details of our information technology infrastructure, including software versions or cloud computing arrangements.
My Department’s primary internet access is provided centrally through government networks. We also use other service providers for backup and ancillary services related to internet service provision. The cost of internet services are combined with other services including voice and leased lines and therefore cannot be accurately apportioned and calculated separately.
