People will definitely ask to have that period extended, but that will change absolutely nothing. Why shorten a period when you can always extend it in any case? I wonder why these people wanted to shorten it and enter that in a very specific framework. That's not a problem in smaller provinces, but it's another story in Quebec.
When I worked on the commission in Quebec, we had to extend the period in any case. I don't know where the Elections Canada people got that idea. They have criteria, of course, but the fact remains that, at some point, we had to move fast because they were pushing us. Did they want to shorten the periods for those reasons? We had to put the pedal to the metal so we could meet the deadlines.
