Thank you for that. The reason I asked is that I wanted to get some validation because it's been a standard practice, for all the right reasons, any time a ballot box is opened. Regardless if we're looking for documents, there are still ballots in there—ballots that were cast by Canadians. That's why candidates' representatives are always present. I fear that if we move away from that, we're moving in the wrong direction. So I can't support the amendment as proposed.
