Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you again, Mr. Mayrand.
I'm going to carry on where Mr. Hubbard left off, that you have had missions across this globe and Elections Canada is an excellent agency to oversee elections overseas. But there's only one party—that is the Conservative Party of Canada—that is alleging that Elections Canada is not fair.
When we look at the excellent reputation you have across the world...I personally feel that my constituents and Canadians are concerned that just because of the selfish nature of this Conservative Party, the taxpayers are going through a lot of expense.
Could you tell me how much it has cost you up until now to defend the lawsuit you have from the Conservative Party, and how much additional money do you perceive that it will cost taxpayers?
