I would like to ascertain whether this is a general problem with translation or whether maybe some of the jacks aren't working well. That's all I'm trying to do.
Is everyone receiving English and French translation?
So that group is, but you're not...? Could it be the jacks? I had this problem at a committee the other day. The jack was pushed completely in but very little was coming out of it. I would ask you to pull out the jack and push it back in to see if that makes a difference.

I was saying that this works very well in other committees. Here, we have had many problems in the past in getting ministers to appear.

Excuse me.
You're not getting translation...? Can we suspend for a few seconds while we get this technical glitch sorted out?
Or no, it is now one o'clock, and the meeting is over, so we will have to take the continuation of this motion to the next meeting. That is actually going to be a week from today because we are not having a meeting on Tuesday in honour of International Women's Day, etc. We will return to this issue on Thursday.
May I have a motion to adjourn?
Madame Boucher so moves.
The meeting is adjourned.
