Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Through you, I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today.
I want to clarify one area.
Monsieur Perrault, you mentioned the longest ballot initiative. I'm going to ask you to correct me if I'm wrong. Years ago when someone wanted to present themselves as a candidate for a federal election, was there not an amount that was required? I think it was a thousand dollars to be a candidate.
I don't think that applies anymore. I don't want people who want to run for office to be prohibited from doing so because of monetary reasons, but would that be something that would reduce the number of, I don't want to call them "fake candidates" because they are legitimate candidates, people who are making up a 91-name ballot?
