I do have a final point on that, Chair.
Notwithstanding Ms. Jennings' point, I would go back to my question, which I was very deliberate in asking initially: what is the role here, and who are we giving this power to? It remains with the Chief Electoral Officer. What we're doing is we're taking away the prescriptive nature of what exists in the act now. That's my point.
You're quite right to say it “may”, but we're giving that power to one person. Albeit this person is accountable to Parliament, we've taken away the prescriptive nature of how that person shares the information. I understand what the words say. That's not the point. It's about what we're taking out.
Again, if we're sharing information to this degree, we have to be very careful how it's shared, the rules around it and the boundaries around it. As I see it, what we're doing here is we're loosening that up. I don't believe the argument for doing that has been made sufficiently here.
