I am technologically illiterate, or almost illiterate, but I know that when a posting goes up on Twitter, the time it goes up is indicated. So if you can prove that a member was in the chamber at six minutes past two, when he Twittered who was present and who was absent, you can say that he did so from the floor of the House, which is unacceptable. However, I agree with you that my assistant, who is responsible for press scrums, can indicate, for example, that for three consecutive days of the week, the Prime Minister or a certain minister were not in the House to take our questions.
Mr. Chair, I believe you meet fairly often with the speakers of other legislative assemblies and speakers of the assemblies of Commonwealth countries.
Without revealing any state secrets, can you tell us whether the issue of new technologies has been debated by these speakers? Our two researchers have done excellent work. We now know how four major democracies, including some Commonwealth members, deal with this issue. Further, last year, or two years ago, I believe, you visited Canada's provincial legislative assemblies. I remember that you visited the Quebec National Assembly. We know how four provinces have dealt with this issue. So have speakers debated this matter?
