Thank you very much, and thank you to colleagues for allowing me this opportunity.
I can see all of your faces. I'm wondering if any of the witnesses heard the last panel of witnesses from Scotland, Wales and the U.K. Could you nod? Okay, you did not hear it.
One thing I found fascinating came from the representative from the U.K. He said the U.K. Speaker had been very concerned in the pandemic that all members of Parliament had access to everything, so rather than have one sitting that was physical with a limited number of MPs, and another session that was virtual, they've adopted a hybrid model in the Palace of Westminster.
Mr. Maingot, I wonder if you could comment on this idea of privileges and participation rights, because this appealed to me. People who are at a distance, like me—I travel from B.C. to Ottawa, and I missed PROC yesterday because it's a day and a half of travel these days—could participate virtually while a skeletal number could be present physically in Parliament. How does that strike you?
