Thank you very much for that. It sounds like a very different meeting.
I'll move on to another matter. There are changes in the bill with respect to special ballots. Presently, when someone takes out a special ballot, they must write in the name of the candidate. This bill changes that so that if someone were to fill in “Conservative Party of Canada”, they could simply mark in their party preference and not the name of the candidate.
I just want to understand the implications of that in the following hypothetical situation. Say there were a candidate who was running, and they, for whatever reason, withdrew before the deadline or the cut-off, and another candidate replaced them.
If someone had voted on day one of the writ and marked in “Conservative Party of Canada”, and the candidate who was standing for the Conservative Party at that date was different from the candidate who ultimately made the final ballot, how would that vote be treated?
