Has there been any discussion, which we sometimes hear, with respect to fixed election dates? Maybe this relates to your comment about human nature. There is the spectre of a fixed election date either causing a government to be a lame duck during the year before the fixed date, or that the political activity will start earlier, knowing the fixed date, and therefore be a distraction to the work of Parliament or the legislature. Has that been an experience one way or the other in British Columbia?
