For witnesses, I would like to remind the clerk, as much as possible, that we've invested millions of dollars in the new teleconference systems throughout the parliamentary precinct so I'd like to see that we utilize those services and not have to fly in witnesses from Toronto, for example, or right across the country. If it is somebody local they could come here, but I don't see any reason why we can't use our video networking system that we have in place. We spent millions and millions of dollars on it.
