Well, I notice this at all committees, and all parties are to blame for this. When we have witnesses, members of Parliament immediately go to their BlackBerrys and read the news of the day. They're not listening and they're not paying attention.
We heard from some veterans last time when they came here to make a presentation that when they looked up, half of us were looking down at our BlackBerrys and not looking at them. I just request that we keep on eye on that and monitor ourselves accordingly.
I know that the BlackBerry--I don't have one, and have never owned one in my life--is an addictive thing, and I know it's difficult for MPs and others to get their minds off these things. I just exercise caution that when we have witnesses, these are veterans, and they don't often get a chance to appear before a committee. We should at least do the best we can to look like we're listening.
