Obviously, we are focusing on our terms of reference. We have no control over the government's decision. We are a legislative committee.
Under our terms of reference, we must submit our report by December 1. Witnesses have told us, on the question of holding a referendum, that it should be set for before the spring of 2017. The Chief Electoral Officer has said he would need some time — I have forgotten exactly how much — to prepare for a referendum. It also depends on the complexity of the system to be adopted. If it is very complicated and there has to be a redistribution of electoral districts, that cannot be done overnight.
For our part, we are limiting ourselves to our objective, which is to submit a report on or before December 1. We are working very hard and very intensively on that.
