Madam Chair, just before we adjourn, there is one fact I wanted to leave with the committee. It arises from a survey of all freelance interpreters we did in July. Eighty per cent participated. The shocking thing is that half of currently accredited freelance interpreters are planning to retire in the next five years.
It's not just a question of whether we have enough interpreters for the 57 meetings in a week; members asked about sustainability. We're facing a mass retirement event, and we need to have appropriate attention paid to that.
Thank you.
