STATEMENT BY THE CHAIR

Before we proceed to resuming debate on the subamendment of Mr. Falk, I would like to address the concerns expressed by some members at the last meeting in relation to suspensions due to a concern for the health and safety of the interpreters. Some committees, including this one, have been experiencing episodes of disorder in recent weeks. It is not uncommon for members to speak over each other or to open their own microphone without waiting to be recognized by the chair.

As I mentioned, the question arose as to whether this could constitute a health and safety problem. By default, I have been on the cautionary side of things. However, the House administration has consulted the Translation Bureau and multimedia services, who confirm that disorder in committee is not itself a health and safety issue. A feedback incident or someone banging on a microphone could contribute to risk, but this is not the case with many people speaking at the same time.

This type of situation can, however, affect the ability of interpreters to provide interpretation if they are unable to keep up with the flow of conversation. When this happens, there will be an interruption in service. The interpreters will inform the committee when this happens, as they already do in cases where the sound quality of remote participants is not good.

As chair, I will remain vigilant. I want to make sure that interpretation is available to ensure equal and fair participation of all members in accordance with the Official Languages Act and the Constitution. I would like to remind members that there should be no situation where several members open their microphone and speak all at once. Only the chair has the authority to recognize the member who has the floor. At no time are members allowed to open their microphone and speak without first being recognized by the chair, either in the course of a debate or on a point of order.

In the case of disorder, the chair is still allowed to suspend the meeting, as I have mentioned previously, and as stated at pages 1058 and 1059 of the procedural book.

Thank you for your attention and co-operation in this regard.
