There is something else, and, once again, it's a bit like flogging a dead horse. The problem isn't in sending a message to your office saying that so and so is not in the House. If I send a message to my office saying that such and such a minister isn't in the House, that does not cause a problem. Even without the technology, we can do so today through the pages. A note can be sent to the House of Commons asking whether a given minister is in attendance or not. It's the same thing [Editor's Note: Inaudible] Rather, the problem arises when that information is posted to Twitter or Facebook, for everyone to see.
There is no problem when the information is used to carry out our work. It is a very different situation when I need to know whether the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans is in the House of Commons or not, and I ask the question of one of my colleagues because I would like to confer with her about crab quotas. However, if debate is underway and a member indicates on Twitter that the Minister of Fisheries did not think fit to attend—I am using an example, it could be the Minister of Transport—then that is of some importance to a greater community.
