Thank you, Chair.
Can I get on the list again after? I had asked for my point of order earlier on a different topic, but I will speak to Mr. Simard's point of order now.
Conservatives certainly agree with Monsieur Simard's assessment of what we are all here to do. It is, of course, why Conservatives made a good-faith amendment on the scheduling motion three weeks ago. On behalf of my colleague, Garnett Genuis, he actually didn't make the claims or say the words that Monsieur Simard was suggesting at all. What he said was that he was looking for clarity on what is obviously repeated misinformation regarding the health and safety of interpreters. It was indeed us who asked at the last meeting for clarity on that because of our deep concern for the health and safety of all of the objective, expert, non-partisan public servants of this committee and all of us as we do our duties on behalf of the people who elected us.
I just wanted to clarify that.
Certainly my colleague, Garnett Genuis, has demonstrated his capacity and ability to be extraordinarily eloquent and articulate in his own right and probably doesn't need me to make this point on his behalf. It is just the case that while we agree with Monsieur Simard's assessment of our core functions here, and Conservatives have clearly been trying to engage in good faith on both principal and procedural items here, his assertions were not at all what Garnett Genuis said.
