Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for this presentation.
It seems to me that there are quite a few things. I'm taking a look at what's left to do, and at the risk factors. These aren't minor issues either.
Someone mentioned that, just because the work is done, doesn't mean that the facilities are ready for use. So, the work might be done, but the facilities might not be ready for use. There could still be security and sound tests to do. As far as acoustics go, I have a hard time hearing people in this room, particularly so today. It's weird, I don't know why it seems worse today. Acoustics are fundamental in our work, because we talk; it's what we do. Sometimes, we talk too much, but we are always talking. We need to be able to understand what our colleagues are saying.
I have a comment and a question.
Even if I want the work to get done as soon as possible, I hope that we will not rush to do it, because we said we would do it, and it will be done if it's doable and done under the best conditions possible. These conditions may not be perfect, but the security conditions will have to be good. I hope that all the sound tests will be done realistically, so that all rooms are adequately prepared for general use. I don't know how you do these tests, but they should be done when people are in the room.
Many elements seem high-risk, especially what is referred to as the integration of all security positions, systems and doors. In my opinion, these elements are absolutely essential.
Let me repeat: I hope that we aren't rushing it, because we said we would do it, but that we will do it because we can do it. If we can't do it, we'll take the necessary steps.
My question concerns the acoustics, especially because of what's going on today. How do you do these tests? How do you do them to ensure that they simulate real-life scenarios? Can you predict the results, when there will be 338 people in the Chamber, all talking a lot?
