Okay. Sorry, I was confused. As I said earlier, these are our first meetings, and I have to get back into the swing of things.
I agree with my colleague, and I'm glad I put forward this recommendation to study the interpreter situation and emphasize how important it is for parliamentarians to have access to their services. As long as we have a Canadian Parliament and a bilingual, French and English country, I think all parliamentarians should have access to interpretation services.
In recent years, we've seen these services decline in quantity, though not in quality. Also, we learned this summer that the government launched a bidding process that, as my Bloc Québécois colleague said, could tie our hands as of January 2026, based on my understanding. I think it's important to deal with this.
I'm the one who put forward this recommendation, so I agree with my colleague, but we need some flexibility to replace the October 7 date with a later date. We may have to check with the clerk to see when the ministers are available before we lock that date in.
