Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The reason for the amendment is simply—and I'm sure it's similar to other amendments—that it's making a certainty for the bill and clarification on firmness of rates and getting some predictability. The intent of this is to simply give that to the bill and to firm it up a bit, and I guess there are other amendments similar to this.
I would rewind on that, Chair. It's the deletion of lines 14 to 21 on page 1 and replacing lines 22 to 26 and lines 1 to 3 on page 2 with the following:
Act are repealed
Elections Canada had suggested this change due to duplication, so it's a simple suggestion that had been brought forward by Elections Canada and it speaks to any concerns around duplication.
