Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for accepting our invitation.
Mr. Blanchet, with respect to the federal act, we are wondering whether a referendum should be held at the same time as a general election, or it is preferable to hold a referendum and an election independently. In Quebec, in my experience, and I am younger than some around the table, it has always been done separately, it was either a referendum or an election.
How do you see it working if both were held at the same time? Is that unacceptable, in your opinion?
