It is indeed a challenge. At the federal level, we're bound to come into conflict with many elections in different territories, municipalities and provinces.
As I said, no date is perfect. The current date conflicts with the municipal elections in Alberta. We can't ignore that. If I had a perfect date, I would be the first to recommend it to the Governor in Council. However, according to the current legislative regime, no perfect date exists.
My point is that the current date of October 20 certainly isn't the worst. If we set the date for October 27, it poses specific challenges for Nunavut. In Nunavut, recruitment is a major challenge. The communities are small and often few facilities are available. I think that it would be extremely difficult to hold the election at the same time as the Nunavut election.
However, we mustn't think that there won't be any conflict on October 20 and that a date, for example in the fall, will be conflict‑free. There are always conflicts.
