I'd like to have your opinion on the tradition of having a representative from each party at the voting table during the election. There's the clerk, the deputy returning officer and a representative of each party. As we are heading into a century of extensive democratization and creation of a number of parties, one day there could be a clerk, a deputy returning officer and 12 individuals representing the parties at the table. Do you think it would be possible for the returning officer to appoint a person and to assign a person a list? That person would circle the names of individuals who vote, and that sheet would be posted at the door and would be available for all parties. Do you understand what I mean?
