What I have received from these deliberations is near-universal consensus that these should be temporary measures. I think it's important that members bear in mind the potential negative consequences. We don't want to diminish the costs, which we think are real, but this isn't, in my view, about modernization. It's really more a radical adaptation for a radical time, which we hope won't persist.
I think we can feel relatively comfortable. I reject the notion of a slippery slope in that I'm fairly confident, based on the deliberation I have heard from members, that they are able to distinguish these times from normal times and would prefer to return to a normal Parliament as soon as possible. I think we have to do what we've done in so many sectors, which is to embrace choices that wouldn't be acceptable in a normal time.
