Thank you, Madam Chair.
I too will be brief.
Mr. Blaikie—Daniel, if I may—first of all, thank you for bringing forward this amendment. I think everybody wants to find a way through this impasse. You've brought something forward that everyone agreed on. I see that as real progress, and I think we owe you our thanks for doing that.
Dear colleagues—and I mean that—we work together. In the House, you really get to know your friends and colleagues. This committee has done really good work in the past.
I come back to what we did last spring. I come back to what we did on how to prepare for a pandemic election, should we have one—and no one wants that. We want to protect Canadians' health and safety, and we want to protect our democracy.
I too, like Ms. Petitpas Taylor—like Ginette—would really like to see us move past this and get to that work that needs to be done. I want to ensure that, should there be an election during a pandemic, we have done the hard work and everything possible to protect the health and safety of Canadians in a democracy.
With that, I'll just say that we're making progress, friends. Let's keep talking. I think we're getting to where we all want to be. Let's keep talking and reach across the aisle.
Once again, Daniel, I really want to say thank you. You've moved us in a good direction.
Thank you, colleagues.
