I don't remember the Ontario and Quebec commissions complaining about the tightness of the timeframes. I do remember some of the other provinces saying they could start earlier than 60 days, if people were ready to be heard within 30 days.
The idea of the recommendation that we made when I was at Elections Canada was that it should be 30 days when you can start doing them. You put out a public notice and people notify you if they're interested, and that process can start within 30 days. It can also start 50 days later. It is just that within 30 days the notice has to be made. You know, the Italian Canadian community of, wherever, wishes to be present and to make a presentation.
That notification can go and then it is scheduled in accordance with when they're ready, and when the commission is ready to listen to them. It is a minimum time. It's like the election itself, it is a minimum of 37 days, but in 2005-06 we had a 53-day general election.
