Is that agreed?

Emergency Debate
Resuming debate, the hon. Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the Queen’s Privy Council.
Emergency Debate
I am going to have to interrupt the member in order to see whether the interpretation is working properly. The hon. member may continue since everything seems to be working.
Emergency Debate
Order. I think there is a problem with the member's microphone, because the interpreter is having trouble understanding what he is saying. Apparently she has no problem hearing me from where I am speaking. I would ask the member to make sure he is on the right channel before we continue. Everything appears to be working. The hon. member may continue.
Emergency Debate
I will have to interrupt the member again because we are having problems with the sound. Since it seems that the interpreters can hear the hon. member better when my microphone is on, I will ask that my microphone remain on while the hon. member finishes his speech. The hon. member.
Emergency Debate
I am sorry, but there is a point of order. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of National Defence.
Emergency Debate
Does the hon. member concur?
Emergency Debate
I have a lot of members who would like to ask the hon. member questions. The hon. member for Montcalm.
Emergency Debate
We have to resume debate. The hon. member for Barrie—Innisfil.
I have the honour to inform the House that a message has been received from the Senate informing this House that the Senate has passed the following bill, to which the concurrence of the House is desired: Bill S-2, An Act to amend the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act.
Private Members' Business
I have to interrupt the hon. member for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia because the hon. member for Kingston and the Islands is rising on a point of order.
Private Members' Business
We have to check the sound quality because the interpreter is having a hard time hearing the member. I see that the hon. member has her headphones and microphone on. Is everything plugged in? The hon. member for Kingston and the Islands.
Private Members' Business
I would like to remind all members participating virtually that they have to mute their microphone so that the interpreters can hear only the person speaking. The hon. member for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia.
Private Members' Business
I am sorry to have to interrupt the member again, but there seems to be a problem with an echo. When I speak French, do the members hear the interpretation well? The hon. member for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia has done everything she can. All I can do is ask her to speak more slowly for the rest of her speech in hopes that that will help the interpreters.
Private Members' Business
The question is on the motion. If a member of a recognized party present in the House wishes to request a recorded division, or that the motion be adopted on division, I invite them to rise and so indicate to the Chair.
Private Members' Business
To the order made earlier, the division stands deferred until Wednesday, January 27, at the expiry of the time provided for oral questions.
Government Orders
This being a hybrid sitting of the House, for the sake of clarity I will only ask those who are opposed to the request to express their disagreement. There is unanimous consent. Accordingly, the House has heard the terms of the request and, there being no dissenting voice, I declare the request accepted.
Government Orders
The hon. member is correct because I did not see any raised hands. The hon. member for New Westminster—Burnaby.
Government Orders
Before I return the floor to the hon. member for Carleton, I would like to talk to those members who have raised the question of the hand function that does not appear to be working in Zoom. We have asked the staff to work toward resolving the issue. As an interim solution, I would suggest that members who wish to ask a question during questions and comments turn on their cameras and physically ra… Read full speechShow less
Before I return the floor to the hon. member for Carleton, I would like to talk to those members who have raised the question of the hand function that does not appear to be working in Zoom. We have asked the staff to work toward resolving the issue. As an interim solution, I would suggest that members who wish to ask a question during questions and comments turn on their cameras and physically raise their hands. The table officers will keep a list of those who wish to intervene. I would also ask members who do not wish to speak to turn off their cameras, to make it easier to identify those who do wish to speak. I thank hon. members for their co-operation. The hon. member for Carleton.
Government Orders
Questions and comments, the hon. member for Regina—Lewvan.
