Show detail Hide detail

Harry J. Boyle, Chairman of the Canadian Radio-Television Commission, introduces this program on live television based on a motion to broadcast parliamentary proceedings currently before the House of Commons. Footage of broadcasts, commentary by experts, and narrative by Patrick Watson explore the importance of live television coverage. Footage of reporters setting up press conferences contrasts with shots of actual proceedings in Parliament (1974), to support points made by Charles Lynch, President of the Parliamentary Press Gallery, on live coverage as a more direct link between government and the public. United Nations officials Olof Rydbeck of Sweden, Bradford Morse of the United States, and Ivor Richard of Great Britain, describe the implementation of parliamentary broadcasts in their countries. Dr. John Chapman of the Department of Communications Space Program explains current and future technology with the use of satellite models. Director of CBC-TV information programming Knowlton Nash, communications educator James Hanly, and CBC producer Cameron Graham point out the educational and program potential of parliamentary broadcasts. Footage of live coverage includes the United Nations, the U.S. Senate, and Parliaments in session. In summary, Boyle discusses the importance of cable and satellite systems to Canadian unity and democracy. <60mn>
