The thing I would repeat is that this is a question of design, not mode. At the risk of being a bit salty, if the thing that makes committee work better is allowing witnesses like us to be able to appear remotely, the same principles would hold for members of Parliament on this one, so I feel like you can't really bifurcate those two things. If it's good for witnesses to appear remotely, then I struggle to see how the same considerations wouldn't appear for other parts of parliamentary work.
Again, I keep coming back to this idea of it being a question of design and how the institutional design is built into how this work happens, and once you push on that, it's difficult to see how the mode with which that actually happens ends up being the crux.
Dr. Rayment might have other comments on that, but I'm not sure.
