I'd just like to say that the Chief Electoral Officer has a longer term than most other agents of Parliament for a number of reasons, but one in particular. The act doesn't prohibit the renewal of a CEO's term for one reason.
During periods with majority governments, a CEO who is in office for 10 years may have to oversee two federal elections. A new CEO would have to administer the following election. And that might be a mistake in some cases. It could be useful to have the ability to renew the term of a CEO who is doing an excellent job, if the CEO and House are both in agreement.
Therefore, I won't be supporting the amendment either.
