Good morning, Madam Chair. It's nice to see you.
Good morning, Minister.
Back in the fall, the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs studied situations related to a possible pandemic election. We met 11 times and heard from 20 witnesses on the issue. Among them were experts, the Chief Electoral Officer, a Canada Post official, provincial chief electoral officers, representatives of various associations, academics, citizens' advocates and public health authorities.
My question is simple. Were you aware that we were studying the issue? It seems that you introduced your bill before we finished our report.
