Chair, let's have a recorded vote on that one.

Could I have clarification of what we're voting on?

[Inaudible—Editor] because of the crosstalk from the Conservatives, I couldn't hear.

Thank you.

Just for all the MPs, yes, the chatter does affect the interpreters, especially when your mike is on, as it was just on for MP Genuis for a little bit—not when you were voting, but even before that.
Try to keep your mikes off. If the red light is on, your mike is on. It's live. You have to turn your mike off unless you're voting. That will really help the interpreters.

To Ms. Belmore, just quickly, who I had the joy of serving with on OGGO, I want to thank you for filling in. You class up the place by bringing some OGGO in. Can you put your microphone a tiny bit closer?

Yes. It's sort of on this issue.
Sometimes, and I don't know who—

I know. It happens to me, too, MP Lawrence.
We're going try our best.

If we could just decide on a particular way of doing business, I'm good either way.

They do their best to see who is going to be speaking, but if you do see that your mike is on.... Because there is some chatter in the room and it does affect the interpreters' ability to do their jobs and also the clerks and everybody else, just for clarity.
We're going to try to do the best we can to help out and to make things work as smoothly as possible.

Perfect. I will not challenge the chair, given his reasonable ruling here.

I have a point of order.
Chair, I submitted a subamendment in writing in advance. I understand that it can't be read, but I assume it can be voted on.
