Thank you.
Since I do not have much time, I will conclude with an observation.
I think we really want to protect our interpreters and make sure that they have access to appropriate technology and that acoustic etiquette, as I'll call it, is observed. Regardless of whether Parliament maintains hybrid or not, we will always be using translators for a variety of functions, including the various settings and meetings that we have.
If I'm understanding this correctly, it's not an issue of whether we should or should not do hybrid based on concerns about the well-being of interpreters. That would be a bit like saying that air traffic controllers should perhaps, if they're susceptible to ear shock, stop managing air traffic, get outside and wave their arms around. I think it's more about identifying and understanding a hazard that we must recognize, address and prevent.
Thank you.
