Thank you, Madam Chair.
My understanding of O'Brien and Bosc and our Standing Orders in this place is that, just like in the House of Commons, you do not state whether a member is present or not present, whether that's in their seat in the chamber or in their seat in the committee; you don't actually point out whether a member is present or not.
I'm sure that our honourable colleagues on this committee are very well aware of this rule, and if any of the members of this committee need to use the facilities, need to get a drink of water—we're all human beings and our bodies have bodily functions that need to be taken care of, Madam Chair. I think people in this room can at least—at least—know that one rule because it's been raised in the House several times. I think everybody should know that rule by now, Madam Chair. Nevertheless, I will remind them all once again.
