Mr. Jackson, of course the decision will ultimately be left to members as to what they would like to use. There are costs associated with the chamber. That is clear.
The main use of the system in the chamber today is for the voting application. There are very few members who participate virtually in order to give speeches, for example. There are some, but not very many. The main value, I think, is in the event that there's a failure with the voting system. Then members have an opportunity to participate by video conference and have their vote count.
Is there an alternative means to accomplish that? If members wanted to say that there was no longer a desire to have hybrid participation in the chamber, could we come up with an alternative? We probably could, and there would probably be savings associated with that.
