Environment committee  They're saying that the sound is very muffled.

Environment committee  Is it not a House of Commons headset, Mr. Roter?

Environment committee  It's good.

Environment committee  They are ready to be logged in, sir.

Environment committee  Yes, they are. Would you mind suspending for a minute, sir?

Environment committee  She'll have to speak a bit more. She didn't speak long enough.

Environment committee  The IT staff have spoken with him. He will join us soon. It's not a technical issue; Mr. Olivier has simply not yet joined the meeting.

Environment committee  Of course.

Environment committee  Yes.

Environment committee  The interpreters are telling me that they will be able to provide the interpretation.

Environment committee  I just checked and we're still working on connecting her.

Environment committee  Yes, the House proposes a schedule for committee meetings during non-sitting weeks. It's on a first-come, first-served basis. They limit the number of committees that can meet. I've made some inquiries, obviously. We are on the priority list to be able to sit during that time in

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, just to allay Mr. Albas's concerns, there's only one other committee on the list to sit during that week, so we would definitely have priority. If the committee decided to sit, I'm pretty sure it could sit. It's up to the committee to decide.

Environment committee  Yes, to my knowledge they are available. I made a request to find out what the schedule was and was told that the schedule would be presented to the whips.

Environment committee  At this point it's tentative, but it's the same as previous break weeks. I have no expectation that we wouldn't be granted permission.
