Welcome to meeting number seven of the Special Joint Committee on the Declaration of Emergency, created pursuant to the order of the House on March 2, 2022, and of the Senate on March 3, 2022.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format.
I'd like to remind all those present in the room to please follow the recommendations from the public health authorities, as well as the directives of the Board of Internal Economy, to maintain health and safety.
Should any technical challenges arise, please advise me, as we may need to suspend for a few minutes to ensure that all members are able to participate fully.
Witnesses should also be aware that translation is available through the globe icon at the bottom of their screen.
Is it agreed to repeat the five-minute rounds as we did last week? I believe we have an agreement on that.
