Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Mayrand.
I was surprised by your presentation because I discovered very interesting details that I hadn't noticed, although I was expecting you to refer to Bill C-16. A lot has been put on your plate at the same time. This is a very major change. In my opinion, the tone is the same as in Bill C-16.
For the time being, Bill C-16 remains a work in progress. It is intended to increase the number of advance poll votes. Is it realistic to ask you to simultaneously implement Bill C-16 and all the work that will flow from Bill C-20, with all the changes you are suggesting? You talk about a two-year timeline, but the first suggested change already seems quite problematic. You noted other problems that add to the difficulty. For example, since Bill C-16 provided for advance poll dates, one of which is intended to take place the day before voting day, it is expected that you would need additional election workers. And, here you are being asked to organize another consultation.
Is it realistic to introduce all of these reforms over a period of more than two years—in other words, within the next three, four or five years?
