Mr. Mayrand, in my earlier questions I think we agreed that you had established that these five factors were newly published, or newly mentioned by you, and that some of the factors were present in the other parties but not all five factors were there. In fact, you've stated that all five factors are critical for you to make the decision you have in referring this to the commissioner.
Factor number one that you mentioned was that statements made to Elections Canada disclosed a “lack of detailed knowledge” of the regional media buy. I've reviewed the Elections Act, and I've reviewed the deck you took us through today. When I look at slide 9, the duties of the official agent, I don't sense there's any responsibility by the official agents to have a “detailed knowledge” of what's going on in the campaign. That's normally the responsibility of the campaign manager. The official agent has to agree to sign expenses and pay cheques and receive contributions.
For example, when the campaign buys pizza to feed the volunteers, the official agent does not know what the topping on the pizza is; he just knows the cost of the pizza and who to send the cheque to. He doesn't have the detailed knowledge. Can you tell us where in the act the official agent's detailed knowledge is required?
