Hello and welcome back to committee.
For our final panel, we have Simon Tunstall, chief returning officer of the 2023 leadership election, by video conference.
I am going to remind members that, when it comes to interpretation, when we're all in the room with our mics, it's a connected system. When we bring people in by video conference, these are systems working with each other, and therefore, if the witness is speaking, no member in this room will turn on their mic, because that also causes feedback.
We have tech people who will turn mics on and off. I will watch the clock, and I would ask that nobody turn their mic on, because I need the system to unfold. If this is not adhered to, I will use my prerogative as chair to protect the ears of the interpreters. One thing that's causing us the most challenge right now in responding back to the House is interpreters and translation services.
I am clearly using my words and stating my expectations, and I do expect that they will be satisfied and met.
We have Madame DeBellefeuille.
