Actually, I just wanted to mention that I would be in favour of the videoconferencing idea in cases where it is impossible for witnesses to travel to Ottawa.
However, I've been taking part in these proceedings for several months now, and I have the feeling that I am learning as much from the interactions among the various witnesses who appear before us as from the evidence they give, if not more.
When we use the videoconference system, I am necessarily limited by the director's eye, which focuses on the spokesperson and prevents me from seeing the other reactions. Unless we have a number of cameras, I much prefer to meet with people in person.
