Upon assessment of the extent of the damage, one microphone was damaged beyond repair and has been replaced.
The actions that unfolded last night have drawn significant concern from the public and are cause for reflection on the conduct and professionalism of our Members of Parliament and the institution of Parliament.
The Appointments Committee would like to offer an unqualified apology to the Right Honourable Speaker, the leadership and members of Parliament, as well as the general public for the unfortunate incident. We would like to reiterate that we are committed to working for the growth of our democracy. Going forward, I implore all members to conduct themselves in a manner befitting Members of Parliament.
