Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, minister. Welcome to the committee.
Minister, I'm surprised you are here this morning, because I don't remember having discussed your appearance before this committee, or the planning committee. In any case, you are here. We welcome you.
Minister, I'm trying to understand every aspect of what you are doing. First, you are adding one advanced polling day. That means there will be a full weekend of advanced polling: the Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday before the election, one week before the election date. This would mean advanced polling as we have known it for several years now.
Second, instead of there being only one voting day, there will be two voting days, since you are decreeing that the Sunday immediately preceding election day Monday will become just like election day itself. Is that correct?
