My column this week on Loonie Politics looks at some recent talk about how to make Parliament more accessible for new parents – talk which inevitably leads to people talking about how to make Parliament more "efficient" with things like electronic voting. While it all sounds good, I point out some of the ways in which previous changes to make things more "family friendly" had some pretty major unintended consequences, which is why we want to think twice before we start changing things.
