That's an important point. Let's see if we have interpretation. I'd be happy to start over from the beginning, if that was an issue for colleagues.
Madam Clerk, can we check on interpretation? We may have a more significant issue than a temporary lapse.
Colleagues, are we hearing interpretation now? Is it working?
It's working. I will start over.
Colleagues, welcome to the 23rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. This afternoon, we'll resume debate on Mr. Harris's motion, which was brought by Ms. McPherson, and on the amendment proposed by Ms. Sahota.
Colleagues, when we left this discussion at the last instance, I believe there was agreement that we preserve the speaking order from that moment. If that's the case, then the speaking order was Dr. Fry, Monsieur Bergeron, Mr. Fonseca and Mr. Oliphant.
With the committee's agreement, I propose that these be the first four speakers.
Colleagues, use the raise hand feature or a way of signalling to the clerk if you're attending in person and wish to intervene.
With the committee's consent to proceed in that fashion, we will now give the floor to Dr. Fry to continue this discussion.
