Thank you.
I also have three questions, Mr. Mayrand. I'll try to get through them quickly.
The first is contained in your report, the section talking about appointing returning officers, now that it's within the power of Elections Canada. I'd like to get you to expand on that a little bit and tell me how that process went, your experiences, any improvements you think you might be able to entertain for future appointments, and specifically what the cost factor was to complete your process.
The second question deals with coverage and currency targets, if you can just verify that a little bit for me. It seems extraordinarily high. I'm very pleased to see that, that you have the currency and coverage targets basically at or above what you anticipated. I'd like to get a little bit more explanation on how that was accomplished, because if it's true, then I think we're in pretty good shape.
Lastly, could we get a status update on your information technology renewal project? I understand from the last time you appeared before a committee that I also sit on, the oversight committee, that you had some serious concerns there. I understand that you really need to upgrade your software and hardware capabilities to be totally ready for another election, and I hope to get an update on where that stands right now.
