Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he wants to connect with more Canadians and his response to the throne speech was live streamed on Youtube Thursday morning.

He will then go live on the site next week to answer questions generated by the speech.

More than 21,000 people have already voted on more than 400 questions.

This is the first time that a Canadian prime minister's speech has appeared via the online video service.
