With regard to resources, I would like to reassure committee members. Elections Canada has what we call statutory authority—in other words, if I need additional resources, I obtain them automatically. It is not to me to determine the resources I need to fulfil the duties of my position. So there is no problem there. In my 16 years as Chief Electoral Officer, the committee has never heard me talk about a lack of resources because there is no such lack. It is entirely up to the Chief Electoral Officer to determine the resources required to do what needs to be done. So there is no problem there.
If there have been delays anywhere, I am quite prepared to examine the issue with you to see what is going on. However, I can assure you that the cause will not be a lack of resources.
