Thank you, Minister, for being here.
I was wondering if I could go straight to an issue that's caused some concern, which is current section 18 of the act, which you want to replace with a new version that's very tight, and in its own language excludes any public education activities other than what's listed.
You've suggested some openness. My question is, why would you not be open to retaining current section 18, which has all of the public education functions that have led to things like Democracy Day and the student vote program, and then layer on top of it your specific informational duties that you want the Chief Electoral Officer to undertake? What's wrong with having the two side by side?
