Perfect.
Welcome to the new members.
Mr. Nater, we're looking forward to working closely together.
It's a really good day to be here, because we have an exciting first panel, which consists of current members of Parliament representing all four parties. The second panel looks at the use of hybrid proceedings in other jurisdictions, with the Speakers of two provincial legislative assemblies and a representative of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
I would let the committee know that our virtual witnesses have all successfully undergone the pre-meeting connectivity and audio tests.
For our first panel, I would like to welcome Carol Hughes, MP for Algoma—Manitoulin—Kapuskasing; Yvonne Jones, MP for Labrador; Tom Kmiec, MP for Calgary Shepard; Andréanne Larouche, MP for Shefford; and Jean Yip, MP for Scarborough—Agincourt, who is joining us virtually.
Before we start, I will remind you that all comments by members and witnesses should be addressed through the chair.
MP Hughes, welcome to PROC. Please take the floor for up to three minutes.
