This will be quick. Notwithstanding that it's mentioned later in the bill--I'm in slight disagreement, perhaps, on the previous opinion of the amendment--this one, again, in the spirit of being explicit, asks that we look at the fact that if there is--and this was brought up in committee numerous times and I think the government acknowledged it later in the bill--a holiday on the third Monday of October, the election would be held on the following Tuesday. That's just for time allowances, Chair. It is to make sure that we honour the fact that there is going to be, at some point, intersection between the fixed election date and holidays. Simply stated, it would be giving allowance for the election to be held on the following Tuesday.
On October 24th, 2006. See this statement in context.
