Okay.
This is more of a legal question. We're governed somewhat under the British North America Act, 1867. Section 18 states:
The privileges, immunities, and powers to be held, enjoyed, and exercised by the Senate and by the House of Commons, and by the members thereof respectively, shall be such as are from time to time defined by Act of the Parliament of Canada,
This is where it gets important, though:
but so that any Act of the Parliament of Canada defining such privileges, immunities, and powers shall not confer any privileges, immunities, or powers exceeding those at the passing of such Act held, enjoyed, and exercised by the Commons House of Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
I would say that if we are not to be passed along greater privileges than the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, isn't this exactly that? They are sending in a skeleton crew to sit in their House of Commons, or Westminister, and they have the option for the other members to teleconference in. Our privileges would be greater than theirs. How would you square that?
