Mr. Barnhart, you also mentioned regarding heckling that there could be a positive outcome of some of the virtual sittings. Being a relatively new MP, I really do think that heckling in the House does impinge upon people's parliamentary privilege to some degree. It makes people feel less able to self-express in a place where they're supposed to feel completely open to that debate. It's interesting that maybe there are some positives to a virtual environment.
The information and communication technology sector has been called a “megatrend” by Harvard Business Review. A megatrend is something that affects every industry and every aspect of life before it's completed. It started in 1958, well before I was born, but what I'm privy to is a very slow adoption rate within Parliament, as maybe one of the last areas of society that are adopting digital and information technology to increase inclusivity within debate, which I think it can help to enhance. I wonder if you could tell me about why you think we might be very slow to adopt this technology.
