Canada’s upper chamber the Senate has set up a working group to look at live video streaming from the Senate, Senate Speaker Noel Kinsella told journalists in a press conference Friday (December 13). Four senators will be part of the working group.
“It is the common view of all senators that we do have to tell our story because the institution is so critical,” to the governance of the country, said Kinsella.
Cameras have been in the elected House of Commons since 1977 and the debates and committee meetings can be watched on cable television or via the Internet.
Up until now, only audio was available from the senate chamber, though some senate committee meetings are televized.
