Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning, Mr. Ouellet, Mr. Wilkie.
The Chief Electoral Officer of Quebec has provided us with his comments, because he could not be here to meet with us. He is of the same mind as you.
He said that moving election day to Sunday would solve certain problems, including the availability of premises. He pointed out some consequences that can be foreseen if Bill C-16 is enacted: the costs of this new measure, problems with recruiting election personnel for the hours that the advance polls on the day before election day are open, the availability of premises, custody of the ballots and the difficulty for personnel of clearly understanding the differences between the rules that apply the day before and the rules that apply on election day.
The Chief Electoral Officer of Canada also told us about these problems, and I note that you have made the same comments.
My question is this. Have you thought about the question of how to encourage young people to vote?
