You are right to mention it. One hundred and twenty-one new returning officers were appointed for the last election. There is an intensive training program for returning officers. When changes are made to the act, they are routinely called back in order to receive training on the new provisions.
There is also a support program for those referred to as field liaison officers. We grouped the ridings in clusters of 10 to 15. We found regional experts, who had a great deal of expertise in electoral matters and who acted as resource persons to the returning officers.
Obviously, we offer support services to returning officers. These programs are described in the report.
