Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to start by welcoming Mr. Mayrand to our meeting today.
For the record, I would like to emphasize that I agree with my colleague, Mr. Guimond. The Advisory Committee of the Registered Political Parties is a very important body. It gives you an opportunity to hear from the political parties and to make a decision in light of this. The committee has been very useful in the past, and I think it should be continued, because we are part of the democratic process. You are not simply isolated in an ivory tower somewhere.
Since being approached for the position of Chief Electoral Officer, have you taken the time to study Mr. Kingsley's policy or the way he wanted things done? For your part, have you noticed anything that you would like to do differently?
