I think it was Dr. Boda who had that statement in his opening comments, but I'd be very happy to just speak at a very high level about our processes.
As I mentioned before, it was a snap election in British Columbia. We did not have the usual opportunity to do outreach and education with the various stakeholder groups during the lead-up.
Right after the election was called, I held a joint press conference with our provincial health officer. Obviously, she was speaking to the safety aspects and the public health aspects, but I was speaking about the process. I was speaking about trying to be as transparent as possible, about what options voters would have and about our safety plans, emphasizing strongly that while voting would be similar, it would also be different, but that the differences would be what people had already come to expect when going to a grocery store or picking up a cup of takeout coffee or that sort of thing.
We really focused initially and then, through our advertising campaign and through our media outreach during the campaign period, on safe voting, as well as being very transparent about communication. It was very different in terms of the large numbers voting by mail, so we made sure that we published the requests we had received and the numbers of packages that had been issued across electoral districts throughout the campaign period.
It was the same thing the day before election day. We held another press conference to describe what the process would be going forward through the final count so that voters, media and political participants were very aware about how the process would unfold and about what information would be available, and when, to make sure they understood the process and therefore had trust in the process.
