Finance committee  I'm sorry to interrupt, Mr. Chair, but we're having problems with the sound. It seems to be cutting out. Maybe we can start again to see if it's resolved. We had to stop interpretation.

Finance committee  I'm really sorry to interrupt here, Mr. Poilievre. I think the sound is not loud enough for the interpreters. I wonder if you can speak closer to your mike. I'm sorry about this.

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, I will have to intervene once again. I apologize for this, but we cannot interpret at the moment. I'm not sure what the issue is, Mr. Gilroy. I think it's because of the sound quality. I don't know how you want to proceed, Mr. Chair. Maybe we can—

Finance committee  Mr. Neumann. I'm sorry—

Finance committee  Mr. Neumann, Mr. Chair, I'm sorry to interrupt. The sound quality is not good for the interpreters at the moment, so they had to stop interpreting. They were suggesting that you could try to be closer to your computer and maybe speak more slowly and a bit louder, and we can see

Finance committee  I'm sorry, Mr. Chair. I think there's a problem with the interpretation.

Finance committee  Maybe he should try to speak more slowly.

Finance committee  I'm sorry, Mr. Sheppard-Buote and Mr. Chair. I think there's a problem with the sound. The sound quality is not good enough to interpret Mr. Sheppard-Buote. We can try it one more time.

Finance committee  I think it should be fine, Mr. Chair. Maybe we can confirm with Ms. Wardle, but I think it's fine now.

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, I'm sorry to interrupt. I just want to mention to you that we also have a witness from the Canadian Ferry Association.

Finance committee  It was a last-minute addition.

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, I'm sorry to intervene. I think there's a witness from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute who wants to share some opening remarks.

Finance committee  Yes.

Finance committee  Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Chair. I hate doing this, but we're having a problem with the interpretation. Mr. Bernhard, I don't know if it's your microphone, but the sound quality isn't good enough right now to interpret.

Finance committee  Yes. You can have some sort of agreement if you want, but the motion that was passed in the House requires that for any motion that is moved there be a recorded vote.
