Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We have repeatedly had this problem, and it would be an extreme coincidence if it is always the fault of the person presenting. I had this problem in our last meeting, when I was appearing virtually.
It is clear, when you're appearing virtually, that others who are appearing virtually can hear the person just fine and the sound quality is just fine.
I want to assure Ms. Donnelly that it's nothing she's doing; we have some problem in the programming or in the interface, either between those online and those in the room, or between the room and the interpretation booths.
I have raised this repeatedly over the last year, and we continue to call people who are testifying and say, “Move closer to your router. Move your microphone.” That's clearly not the problem. We need to get to the root of this problem so that this does not continue to happen.
I would ask that we ask the technical staff to look into this problem, rather than assume in each case that, by complete chance, every one of the witnesses or the people appearing virtually are doing something wrong. There's clearly something wrong with the system.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
