I'm hearing the same thing from everyone. Does anybody have anything to add?
I'm hearing from the committee that although this is a well-intentioned thing to do, it's not necessary and there may be another way to do it. We don't support it; we reject it. Thank you.
We have dealt with recommendation 4.3. We rejected recommendation 4.3, by the way.
Next is recommendation 4.4
Recommendation 4.4 is “Extension of the Deadline Process for Candidates' Returns”. I believe we have dealt with that; we supported it.
Next is recommendation 4.5, “Candidate Audit Fees”. We can simply deal with this. It is an administrative thing. It reads:
An amendment to section 466 of the Canada Elections Act is sought to expressly establish the amount of the candidate audit fees as the amount of the audit expense, to a maximum of 3% of the candidate's election expenses and $1,500, whichever is less. The minimum audit fee would be $250.
Mr. Reid is next, please.
