Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to welcome our witnesses. Dr. Shahab, Dr. Russell and Dr. Werker, thank you for being here, and thank you for sharing your insight with the committee. As a committee, we are looking at offering recommendations to Elections Canada in preparation for a potential election during the pandemic.
Let me start by asking, where is the highest risk during an election period? Is it the entire writ period, or is it the actual days when people are gathering to vote?
Dr. Shahab, you can go ahead.
