Thanks very much.
David, I appreciate it. I appreciate the fact that you and I and Kevin have, I think, come to some agreement on this. That's all I've really been looking for from day one.
I won't be very long, but on a couple of your points, yes, I would welcome and the government would welcome Monsieur Mayrand to appear on Thursday. We'll have to obviously have that confirmed by the clerk and the chair, but we certainly have no objection to that. I, like you, think it would only be appropriate. We've heard from the minister first, and Monsieur Mayrand, as the Chief Electoral Officer of Elections Canada, should appropriately be the second witness we hear from.
The government's position is yes. I think what you're suggesting, an hour and a half of Monsieur Mayrand in front of this committee, would certainly be appropriate.
