Regarding webcams, over the years, a number of pilot projects involving different members have been initiated. Some members do use webcams in exceptional circumstances, either to speak to their children who may be ill or in situations where solutions have been put in place. Certainly webcams can be very educational and this tool does work very well.
At one time, a member wanted to use a webcam for his constituency office. At the same time, he also wanted to benefit from the broadcast quality. The question that arises here is one of service in terms of the interpretation and in terms of the correct service model for a member. There is no question that security remains an issue. Capacity and volume must also be considered, since information is being transferred. The network capacity is enormous.
We have also introduced a number of new services that involve the network and transmission capabilities.
Therefore, if a genuine need arises, or if the need for this service becomes more pressing, I would be willing to review the situation and to come back to the committee with some recommendations.
