Absolutely. Even when we had the association appear before us as a witness previously in the virtual House of Commons study, that testimony was surprising. I don't think a lot of us realized the stress and the injuries that can be caused to those providing these services.
I will ask for that information. Thank you, Mr. Blaikie, for letting me know that is available.
I think that would be encouraging to members. I know sometimes we think it sounds okay to us and therefore it shouldn't be a problem, but we should definitely be following the guidelines they have set out for us when possible. I understand emergencies do occur, but those are exceptional circumstances. It shouldn't become a routine practice to not use the headset.
Let's start. On the main estimates today, we have Monsieur Perrault back before our committee. He is from Elections Canada, the Chief Electoral Officer.
Thank you so much, Monsieur Perrault, for being back again.
We have Michel Roussel, deputy chief electoral officer for electoral events and innovation, and we have Marc Limoges, chief financial officer.
We will start with opening remarks. I believe the opening remarks are from Monsieur Perrault.
Monsieur Perrault, you have five minutes. Thank you for providing the remarks in advance.
