Thank you, Madam Chair.
I will echo the wise words she said. I am a unilingual member of Parliament and I rely completely on the interpretive services that are provided here. In the 17-some years I've been here, I want to thank you very much for enabling me to do my job to represent my constituents.
I'm going to start with the translation bureau.
Mr. Ball, I want to talk a little bit about the notion of witnesses appearing at committee prior to Zoom being used. Prior to Zoom, we had video and teleconferencing capabilities for witnesses to appear. Was that system better for the health and well-being of our interpreters than Zoom is?
