So we have that subamendment to the amendment, and the amendment talks about recommendations to Elections Canada, and the main motion talks about certain election campaign expenses.
I think it's important for us as members of this committee, if this motion actually ends up passing, because we're just debating.... It's not passed yet; it may not pass. I'm taking the assumption that some day it may pass, and when that happens, then this committee will be looking at certain election campaign expenses and recommendations to Elections Canada and what happened, not just in the last election in 2006 but in past elections. That's if the subamendment passes, the other amendment passes, and the main motion passes. So I'm going to work on that assumption.
But I think it's important for us, as members of this committee, to understand what we're actually talking about. I have a copy of the last Canada Elections Act. I think it's important for us to understand, when we're talking about expenses, certain expenses, what that might entail. The fact of the matter is that Elections Canada's job is really to manage and run the federal elections legislation that's been passed by this House.
For us to do a quality job as members of this committee, I think we should understand this legislation.
