Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that, and given that it is exactly the same, I'll only make the following points.
The Chief Electoral Officer in testimony to this committee pointed out that Bill C-23 would create some rather operationally difficult hurdles: timelines, the ability to consult—in some of my amendments I'll go into some of the details around the consultation that's required with his advisory committee—the nature of the bilingualism that's required.... Under this amendment, we're just trying to ensure, as Mr. Scott has said, that the guidelines and interpretations that the Chief Electoral Officer is asked to provide are in effect practical for him to accomplish.
Obviously, the reason these are so close is that we've taken on board in the Green Party, as has the official opposition, the recommendations made by Mr. Mayrand.
