Madam Speaker, I enjoyed the speech by my colleague from Mégantic—L'Érable. I would like to ask him a question.

I think that his speech, as valid as it was, did not identify the problem properly. Let us think back on the history of innovation in the House of Commons, like when microphones were brought in in 1957, or television cameras in 1977, and then simultaneous interpretation.

Why does my colleague not see hybrid Parliament as another step towards innovation to reform our democratic institutions?
