Mr. Speaker, I thank the opposition whip for his concern. This has been discussed. As we are in a virtual proceeding, there will be instances where folks are at a distance and therefore we need to be able to communicate to them. The Speaker's office was aware of this. The House leader for the opposition was aware of this as well. We are happy to have discussions. It was our understanding in our conversations with the opposition that this was something it was not only aware of but understood was necessary as part of a virtual proceeding.
In the House of Commons on November 26th, 2021. See this statement in context.
