Thank you very much.
Before we proceed to the consideration of routine motions, I'll ask you to put your hands up so that I'll be able to see you on the list and go in order of your raising your hands. Before we get to that, some of you, or maybe all of you, have already gone through these virtual settings through committees, but I'm going to go over some of the rules and how they work so that we can be as efficient as possible.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. When you're ready to speak, you can click on the microphone icon to activate your mike. If a member wishes to speak in debate, they should use the “raise hand” function. This will signal to the chair your interest to speak. In order to do so, you should click on “participants” at the bottom of the screen. When the list pops up, you will see next to your name that you can click “raise hand”. Everybody should be able to see that.
Can I just see a nodding of heads to show that everybody can see that? That's all good. Terrific.
When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute. Also, so you're aware, the webcast will always show the person speaking, rather than the entirety of the committee.
I'll now open the floor for discussion of routine motions.
I see Mr. Zuberi.
