It's not a problem at all. I want to make sure as well that everyone can hear me.
Regarding the possibility of the House sitting in an alternate location, section 16 of the Constitution Act, 1867 states that Ottawa is the seat of the Government of Canada.
The question is whether the House could decide on its own to sit elsewhere, in Ottawa or in Canada. In my view, there would be no legal impediment to the House doing so during the pandemic, and we know that the House sat in an alternate location after the fire of 1916. That said, various considerations must be taken into account should the House decide to sit elsewhere.
Constitutional and legal requirements governing the proceedings of the House would still apply to a House of Commons sitting in an alternate location, as set out in section 133, which concerns language rights.
Also, having the House meeting at a location that's different from the seat of the government and the Senate could entail practical challenges. In the Canadian parliamentary system, where the government is responsible and present in the House, having the House meeting outside the seat of the government may render more difficult the presence of cabinet members at that location. Messages between both Houses, should there be any, would also need to be handled in accordance with this new logistical reality.
With that, I would be pleased to answer any questions.
