On the inability to repay in time, I'm not aware of any cases. It's interesting. What I hear is that for the 39th and 40th GEs, there are still significant amounts outstanding. We're talking about an election that took place five to six years ago, just as a matter of fact.
The issue we're facing is that, yes, the act provides a statutory period for repayment. However, the next provision in the statute, which is repeated in the bill, is that the period no longer applies when there's been an extension made either by the Chief Electoral Officer or by the court.
When the Chief Electoral Officer is seized of a request for an extension, our approach is to see whether there's a desire to pay, whether it's desirable that the claims or the loan be reimbursed, and whether, again, it would better serve transparency. If those extensions are turned down, one thing that would happen is that you lose sight of what's going on with those loans. There's no requirement to file returns after that point. So that makes it a little complex to administer.
