Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Madam Chair. You were asking how we could broaden it. As a suggestion, it could read, “In any House proceeding virtually, including....” Sorry, I'm getting this wrong. It is again fatigue.

Procedure and House Affairs committee I had something, and now it's gone. I'm sorry.

Procedure and House Affairs committee It would read, “in any House proceeding virtually,” so it would be any virtual proceeding, and then you could say, “including those that use a headset or microphone”.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Madame Chair, as an update to version 3 of the report, which you haven't seen because we weren't able to have it translated in time, I added language to an earlier part of this section. It would be in the second paragraph, under part (d), “Uphold language rights”. If you bear wit

Procedure and House Affairs committee Absolutely, Madam Chair. Could Ms. Blaney please repeat the gist of what she was hoping to see? I'll work something up.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Let me know what the committee thinks of this: “That the House of Commons conduct a mock virtual Parliament exercise prior to the deployment of the platform to be used for parliamentary business, and that all recognized parties”, I was thinking, “be invited to participate in any

Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Madam Chair. I am of the same mind as Ms. Normandin.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Could I please make a quick comment? I would just say, for consistency, in recommendation one the language was “exceptional” as opposed to “extraordinary”.
May 13th, 2020Committee meeting
Andre Barnes
Procedure and House Affairs committee I hope I have this written down correctly: “That the House establish an alternative set of standing orders which enables the implementation of a virtual Parliament so that the House can continue with its business in the event of a crisis or exceptional circumstance such as those

Andre Barnes
Procedure and House Affairs committee I will certainly get the changes done in English before I go to sleep, which may end up being later than I thought I would be going to sleep. However, I think having the translation come back by 3 p.m. would be unlikely, although they have been very quick so it is possible.
May 12th, 2020Committee meeting
Andre Barnes
Procedure and House Affairs committee I can see there being about two pages of additional material, so if we're meeting at 3 p.m., it is possible. I couldn't possibly speak for translation on that, but I will do my half of that work as fast as I can.

Procedure and House Affairs committee It appeared that Justin had something to say on that. I will defer to him.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Thanks, Madam Chair. I put this specific quote in the report because the order of reference had three suggested things that the committee look at, and this was one of them. It was, for lack of a better term, the only testimony that was really given on alternate locations, and it
