Procedure and House Affairs committee  Regarding webcams, over the years, a number of pilot projects involving different members have been initiated. Some members do use webcams in exceptional circumstances, either to speak to their children who may be ill or in situations where solutions have been put in place. Certainly webcams can be very educational and this tool does work very well.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Madam Clerk, Mr. Chair. I would be happy to answer your question, sir. The concept of the parliamentary precinct, which encompasses the thirty or so buildings downtown that house the offices of Parliament, as well as all constituency offices, was developed to ensure the ongoing integrity and security of each individual MP, as well as respect for the caucuses and respect for communications.
