Alberta MLAs were given a tongue-lashing yesterday after being told to put their BlackBerrys away and refrain from logging posts on Twitter during question period.
Speaker Ken Kowalski told the legislature that he spotted six MLAs tapping on their BlackBerrys during question period.
“Let’s deal with this or I am going to have to deal with this in an entirely different way,” Kowalski said to MLAs.
Kowalski said he received a number of complaints from provincial politicians about how some members are logging onto Twitter during meeting in the legislature.
He said some messages by MLAs would appear moments before a question is asked in the House.
