Good afternoon. I found your presentation very interesting. You said: "Bill C-419, which was put forward by the NDP MP for Louis-Saint-Laurent, is to the point and unequivocal."
I have been hearing comments that cast doubt on certain parts of the bill since we started discussing it. I personally think that the bill is very well balanced and that the preamble is necessary. The preamble enables us to understand why these people appear on this list.
In your presentation, however, you talked about parliamentarians' privilege or prerogative to have a private conversation with agents of Parliament. I want to make the connection between that prerogative and the question whether it is necessary to have an interpreter. As a parliamentarian, I want to be able to have a private conversation with the Auditor General or the people on that list without needing an interpreter. Is that the sense of what you are saying?
