We'll get started.
We're at the 60th meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs and we have four great guests with us today. We should have a cake.
We are here on Mr. Chong's Bill C-586, an act to amend the Canada Elections Act and the Parliament of Canada Act.
Professor Turnbull, you volunteered—because I told you—to go first with your opening statement. Then we'll work our way across. Please if you would, we'll go ahead and get started. When we're finished all the opening statements, we'll ask really hard questions.
Professor Turnbull.
