Thank you so much.
Minister, welcome back. It's great to see you before the committee.
The Harper government's so-called Fair Elections Act made it harder for Canadians to vote and easier for people to evade our election laws. The Globe and Mail said, “This bill deserves to die.” The Chief Electoral Officer at the time said, “I certainly can't endorse a bill that disenfranchises electors.”
Why is it so important for the government that these provisions be repealed?
