Yes. We did send out the speaking notes before today's meeting. In some cases, when we get bilingual notes, we can send them out. However, we don't always receive them in both official languages, unfortunately. If we do, definitely we can send them out.
There's no obligation for the committee to actually have the person read out their speaking notes if they've been distributed; however, we can't append them to the evidence as we would normally do. The committee is not empowered to deal with that motion. The only alternative is that we could possibly consider is this. If the Chair wants me to, I can ask that witnesses not speak for as long, that we reduce the amount of time they have for their opening statements.
On the subject of technology, we are certainly doing everything we can, and we definitely appreciate your patience on that.
