Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for coming today, despite the storm.
I would like to ask Mr. Loewen and his colleague for some information on the study they conducted for Elections Canada. You seem to have compared what was going on in other countries with regard to advanced polling. In your study, did you take into account the fact that there are other voting measures in Canada besides advance polling, which isn't the case in other democracies? There is special polling, which enables a person who will be travelling, for example, to go to the returning officer on any day and vote. That person may also vote through the mail. Certain other systems do not allow this flexibility.
Is that one of the factors you considered in the methodology of your study?
