Thank you, Mr. Dreeshen, for your point of order.
I clearly provided the committee information at today's meeting that the clerk had gone to make sure that the appropriate individuals were contacted—such as multimedia services, the translation bureau and the clerk's office—and that this information was provided so I could provide this.
I would like to remind committee members that several meetings ago.... We've had different clerks, and the clerk advised, based on consultation at that time with our interpreters, that they had concerns. I relayed those concerns to committee members to make sure that we operate here with mutual respect among each other and that we refrain from causing any potential health and safety concerns that may arise, as the clerk advised me.
I provided that information, and I will continue to provide and relay information to committee members.
For the interpreters to do their job effectively, we have to make sure that we refrain from multiple members speaking at the same time, so that they can provide accurate and timely interpretation.
