While public health authorities and the Board of Internal Economy no longer require mask wearing indoors on the precinct, masks and respirators are still excellent tools to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases and their use is strongly encouraged.
Although this room is equipped with a powerful audio system, feedback can occur and this can be extremely harmful to the interpreters. The most common cause of sound feedback is an earpiece worn too close to a microphone and we therefore ask all participants to exercise a great degree of caution when handling their earpieces, especially when your microphone or your neighbour's microphone is turned on, in order to prevent incidents that can cause a very loud sounds in the ears of the interpreters.
Now we're going to resume debate on the motion of Martin Champoux.
Go ahead, Rachael.
