Thank you.
Professor Milner, I'll direct some questions at you to begin with.
Mr. Reid just mentioned this briefly when he was having his conversation with you earlier ,and it was about the issue that all three of you have indicated you see as your main concern, which is this idea that people should be able to register prior to the election period rather than simply within it.
Now, I can certainly understand how in the context of a fixed election date that potentially could be an option. However, obviously knowing our system, there is all kind of potential for an election to fall outside the period of a fixed election date. There could be a minority parliament. There could be the defeat of a government on a non-confidence motion. There are all kinds of reasons that an unexpected election could happen at any time. Therefore, under those types of scenarios, you would have voters in one election as compared to another election potentially being treated differently if we were to have a system where they were able to register prior to an election, because obviously if there was an unexpected election on a defeat of a government, they would only of course then be able to register within the period of the election.
People would be treated differently in two different types of elections. Would you have any concern about the potential unfairness in that type of system, of people being treated differently in one election as compared to another?
