Developments

OTTAWA (CP) — MPs are
still kicking around the
problem whether Commons
proceedings should be
televised.

The procedure committee,
assigned the task of making
recommendations on the
subject to the Commons, has
completed hearings, But
members say it cannot get
down to the job of writing a
report,

Even a committee

was allowed to die without the
Commons taking any action.

The procedure committee
heard briefs from the CBC and
CTV networks, went to Wash-
ington to see how proceedings
of a Senate committee are
televised and got some advice
from United Nations

technicians.

But the committee has not
called a méeting since the
Commons reconvened Sept. 7.
PUBLIC CHOICE:

A recent public opinion poll
showed that 69 per cent of Ca-
nadians would like to see Par-
liament televised. Twenty-two
per cent were opposed and
nine per cent undecided.

Generally speaking, MPs
seem to be against any TV
broadcasting of _Commons
proceedings... ..

For one thing, they say they
feel that televising of some of
the tedious proceedings would
turn off the public,

But some MPs argue that
TV broadcasts would force
Parliament to streamline its
procedures—in other words,
put on a. snappy show that
would appeal to the public day
in and day out.

FEAR EXPOSURE

Some MPs admit frankly
they are no great shakes as
orators. TV would only em.
phasize their shortcomings,
they say.

Conversely, other MPs say
TV would enjoin members to

speeches and put pithy instead
