It's my pleasure, although it's only a temporary visit.
Thank you so much for all your presentations.
Given that I only have three minutes, I will ask you about one issue, and that's II.9, extensions of time for filing financial returns. The Chief Electoral Officer is recommending that candidates who fail to file an electoral campaign return by the statutory due date should forfeit up to one half of the nomination deposit, regardless of whether they received an extension.
As someone who's been a candidate in five elections, I have a difficult time accepting that the return.... If I am granted an extension, that means the Chief Electoral Officer has accepted the grounds on which I was unable to meet the deadline, so I don't understand why I should forfeit any part of my nomination deposit.
I'd like to hear your views on that.
