That is a very good question.
My comments on keeping the date were perhaps not clear enough. We are fully aware of public commentary from several MPs, as well as the suggestion or intention of possibly changing the date. We would be completely fine if the committee decides it must change the date.
You are right. In theory, everyone can organize to vote by mail, and that in fact applies to Quebec’s municipal elections. Everyone can vote at advance polls. However, it remains that election day is still very interesting for millions of Canadians. We saw proof of that in the United States, two days ago. Tens of millions of people went to the polls.
