I appreciate the argument, and the logic is good, except I think at least in two provisions that I think are the applicable ones in Bill C-23 it says that:
...if the 45-day period coincides or overlaps with the election period of a general election, they shall be published...no later than 45 days after polling day...
In fact, there is no ability.... I think the government's drafting has already taken into account that they don't want the Chief Electoral Officer having to drop things, not just during, but when it overlaps.
