Before we get to that, colleagues, I have talked to the clerk, and he's made it quite clear that it's not that any privilege is being taken away. This is much like the House of Commons. The Speaker ruled that if interpreters could not interpret, then members could not be recognized. It was a very clear ruling by the Speaker in the House of Commons.
It's not that any member's privilege is being taken away. Just as in the House of Commons, any member has the ability to have other colleagues speak on their behalf. After any speeches are given, if someone is recognized and is able to be interpreted, then they're able to speak.
That's the rule I've seen followed as well. If interpreters cannot interpret, then members cannot be recognized. It's happened to other members in this committee before, and we've never had an issue.
