Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Out of respect for the witnesses, I feel I have to point out that the sound quality on the French channel is inadequate. We can hear Mr. Girouard, but his voice is coming to us with an echo. I don't know whether the technical problem is the responsibility of the IT staff or whether it is because Mr. Girouard is using a channel other than the French one when he speaks in French. But it is very difficult to follow the conversation. I wanted to point out this problem because, in my opinion, Mr. Girouard's testimony deserves to be heard.
