Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good afternoon, Mr. Bennett and Mr. Arnott. I don't know if you remember me, but we met in Charlottetown and Halifax. I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to meet with you in person.
Here, we have an example of arrangements made for a very short committee meeting. As we've just seen, there are a few technical difficulties.
That said, based on your expertise, I'd like to hear your thoughts on what the Speaker of the House of Commons, Mr. Anthony Rota, said when he appeared before our committee a few weeks ago.
Let me explain. We're increasingly seeing that representation is a multi-faceted issue. We have committees, of course, and we have the House of Commons. I feel like we're starting to figure out engagement and accountability. The Speaker of the House of Commons said that if the hybrid format were to be used permanently in Parliament, the parameters or circumstances for remote attendance would need to be established.
I'd like you to speak to that, based on your expertise. At the same time, it will answer Mr. Turnbull's question about what measures were feasible.
Who wants to respond first? I'll just pick one of you: Go ahead, Mr. Bennett.
