Mr. Speaker, I would like you to inform the parliamentarians of the House about the rules around wearing the mandatory approved headset to speak in the House and in committee. I have before me a note that says that all parliamentarians must use the Jabra Evolve2 40 headset when participating by video conference in parliamentary proceedings and other meetings. Mr. Speaker, can you tell the House what the table officers do to determine whether a member speaking by video conference is using the right headset? Today, I thought I saw that the member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie was not using the approved headset that helps ensure workplace safety for the interpreters. Could you tell us whether that headset has been checked by the table officers before recognizing the member for Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie? Could you confirm that he is using the right headset, the one that has been approved by the House and that complies with the order that was given by the House of Commons workplace health and safety bureau?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to add a question, because the Chair's response will help clarify this issue. Each member will be better informed of the need to wear the proper equipment to speak. At the same time, the response will inform us of the mechanism put in place by the House to verify that the proper equipment is being worn. I just want to clarify my request, and I hope that the Chair will provide us with clarification so we can guarantee the occupational health and safety of our interpreters.
