I'd like to welcome today's second panel for our review of the House of Commons virtual hybrid proceedings provisions, pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022.
Our second panel includes, from the Canadian Association of Professional Employees, André Picotte, acting president, and Paule Antonelli, acting president of Local 900 and the interpreters' representative for the Local 900 council.
From the International Association of Conference Interpreters, we have Linda Ballantyne, president, and Jim Thompson, communication and parliamentary advisor.
From Public Services and Procurement Canada's translation bureau, we have Matthew Ball, acting chief executive officer, and Caroline Corneau, acting vice-president, services to Parliament and interpretation sector.
I'll ask everyone to make sure their earpieces are in, if they have a preferred language. If they have any issues, let us know and we'll assist. This is a new comment we'll be adding, moving forward.
We'll now hear opening comments, starting with André Picotte.
Welcome.
