Thank you.
I thank the colleagues on the committee for giving me this opportunity. All of the committee's observations have been very helpful, as have all of the witnesses that PROC has been calling this last while to look at holding elections in pandemics and how it can be done safely.
I want to ask Dr. Russell—and I hope I don't put you on the spot—do you think that voters in New Brunswick got the impression that when the premier said he'd spoken to you he'd actually obtained your advice, as opposed to just enjoying speaking with you?
