Chair, I think it's an unacceptable practice in any committee to have a member's staff or House officer's staff making audible interventions overtop of members of the committee, the chair of the committee or a witness of the committee. Perhaps you could give a gentle reminder to staff who are here, such as House officers from the government, that if they're interested in intervening at this committee, they can put their name forward to appear as a witness or they can run for Parliament. They're not to yell overtop of us.
