Taipei, Dec. 13 (CNA) Consultations between party caucuses in the Legislature were broadcast live 
for the first time on Tuesday as part of an effort to reform how the legislature does business.
In a bid to address the criticism of closed-door deals and calls for legislative proceedings to be more transparent, Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全) said consultations between party caucuses will be broadcast live starting on Tuesday, after an amendment to the Organic law of the Legislative Yuan was promulgated by President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) last week.
Su said that caucus consultations will now be broadcast live in the same way as legislative sessions and committee meetings.
Under the new regulation, consultations on the confirmation of nominees for the Fair Trade Commission were broadcast live on Tuesday. [FULL STORY]
