Thank you, Madam Chair.
I do think we need to make it clear to the witness today that we have had this problem repeatedly. It is not a problem with the witness. They quite often feel responsible when, clearly, the problem is with the technical provisions on the House of Commons end. I hope she was there long enough to hear this, and also Ms. Big Canoe.
We try to make arrangements so that they can appear again when we solve this problem, rather than just dismissing them by saying they should submit things in writing. I think it's very important that the witnesses be able to appear.
My last point in the point of order is that this has been going on for a year and a half, and it is becoming increasingly frequent. It is not acceptable. The technical problem must be solved. It not only affects the privileges of members, but it affects the ability of witnesses to give us much-needed testimony. We can't just keep ignoring this and keep suggesting that witnesses or members are doing something wrong, when it happens to a wide variety of people in many different circumstances.
As I've said to you, Madam Chair, it happened when I was using Wi-Fi, and it happened when I was using a connected House of Commons computer. It is not something the witnesses or members are doing. It is a fault either in the software or in the connectivity between the Zoom software and the interpretation booth, and it must be solved. We can't just keep proceeding like this.
I really appeal to the chair that perhaps we schedule no more meetings until this problem is solved.
