National Defence committee  Mr. Brunelle-Duceppe, we're trying to fix the problem. It seems to be because of the phone lines and the sound of interpretation on the French channel and on the floor. The best solution might be to ask your employees to use your access code so they can connect directly on Zoom,

National Defence committee  Okay. I can't hear you echoing, but we're on the internal network. We're trying to understand the nature of the problem. We'll try to fix it.

National Defence committee  Okay. Just so that everybody knows, it seems that we have a problem with the interpretation channels on the phone lines. We're trying to fix this. If someone is having a hard time, they can connect to the Zoom meeting with the password that was provided and I will let people in

National Defence committee  Could we do a test with Rear-Admiral Bernatchez in both French and English just to check it out, please?

National Defence committee  It's magic.

National Defence committee  Yours is fine. Could you talk for five seconds, please? We'll do a sound check.

National Defence committee  It might be because someone has a speaker on their computer turned on and that will produce some echo when they talk. Rear-Admiral, are you in the same room as Colonel Jill Wry?

National Defence committee  Maybe you could check if there's a speaker running in the background. RAdm Bernatchez, perhaps your French interpretation channel is the problem.

National Defence committee  Okay. We're going to do a check. I have been told that our echo problem might be coming from any computer. When someone turns a mike on, it just creates feedback.

National Defence committee  Mr. Sareen, I suspect that you are not on the right channel. If you go to the bottom of your screen, you'll see a globe with “Interpretation”. Just go there and select “English”.

National Defence committee  Yes. It's on the main Zoom screen where you have the pictures of everybody. It's at the bottom, in the middle. If you move your mouse there, you will see “Participants” and, to the right of that, “Interpretation”.

National Defence committee  Okay. We'll do a test right now. Mr. Robillard, can you do a sound test for Mr. Sareen?

National Defence committee  We can continue.

National Defence committee  We'll do a quick test. It won't take very long.

National Defence committee  Yes. At the bottom centre of the screen, there's the “interpretation” option.
