Thank you, Madam Chair. Here's what I found out.
The Translation Bureau now is currently operating at full capacity and has tried to get as much help as possible internally and externally. Unfortunately, it has not been able to always overcome the normal translation delays lately. At this point, additional delays may be expected, depending upon the context of our translation request—for instance, the complexity of the briefs the committee is receiving, the format, and so on.
The good news is that the House of Commons, the Senate and the Library of Parliament are meeting weekly with the bureau to talk about translation priorities arising from committee activities. As your clerk, I will make sure that if the need arises during the upcoming weeks prior to the summer recess, our priorities will be communicated at the weekly meeting.
Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
