I appreciate your saying it's a good point, because we had to move away from October 20 for the reasons mentioned, but go to October 27. On October 27, there's a territorial election scheduled in Nunavut, which would impact tens of thousands of electors directly, because they would have an election day on the same day. I don't really think Canadians buy the argument that it had to be moved solely for that reason.
Just coincidentally, what would happen if the election date was backed up a week is that several NDP and Liberal MPs who are likely to lose their seats in the next election would be guaranteed their pensions, because, as opposed to missing it by a day, they go over by six days by doing so.
Do you not think there's some cynicism there, though, when you say that you did it for Diwali, but when there's a territorial election taking place in Nunavut on the same day, which was known? Is that really the true reason?
