No, no, no.
You can tell we've been drinking a lot of coffee today.
I would just point out that this will be a fascinating vote. Is the government going to realize that this can never happen again, and that it's made a huge mistake, and therefore will agree to it? Or is it not only going to have to defend the fact that it didn't consult the Chief Electoral Officer but that it refused to put in legislation that future ministers have to, which really should start to scare people in terms of this government getting another majority, because if it gets away with taking one whack at our election laws, it's going to get away with most of it. Big pieces are being looked at here. There are all kinds of clauses we haven't even addressed yet that are equally damaging to our democracy.
It will be interesting to see whether the government decides, even if it's in opposition, that it would be okay for another party in majority to do the same thing, because by refusing to put this in the law, it's basically saying that we consider it okay for any Canadian government to do as it did, to bring in major reforms to the election laws, and not to talk to the people that Canadians have hired to be the referees. It will be very interesting to see how this vote goes.
Thanks, Chair.
