Thank you.
I have two answers to your point. My understanding is that members of the House of Commons are free to come to committee meetings and take a seat. In some circumstances they can participate if they're rotated in and out, or members can agree to hear from a member as we've done with the Green Party, for example.
On your second point, I would urge members from all sides to restrain their comments and allow the speaker who has the floor to be heard so that we can move on from one to the next. The interruptions, of course, do tend to both cause and allow members to go on longer than perhaps anticipated. The interpreters do not need to hear the excess noise as well.
I'll take this moment, actually, since I do have the floor, and if I've missed anyone, let me know. Next I have Mr. Desjarlais, Mrs. Shanahan, Mr. Nater, Ms. Yip, Ms. Ferreri, Ms. Khalid and Mr. Genuis. Did I miss anyone? That is where we're at.
Mr. Stewart, you have the floor.
