Thank you for the question. It's very clear from the Supreme Court decision of, I believe, three years ago that prisoners have the right to vote, and the tools the Chief Electoral Officer has in place now will allow prisoners to vote in this next election. So there has been no intent in this particular piece of legislation to alter that. My understanding is that he will continue to have the legislative ability to provide for prisoners in federal institutions.
