Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to refer to quite a bit of information. I'll take a look at the whole situation.
I voted for the first time in 1995, and now I'm with the Bloc Québécois. That says a lot. It's very important to have a good experience for your first and second vote. I couldn't agree more.
That said, there's also human behaviour. Let's face it, when time is limited to go and vote, compared to when you have time to go tomorrow or the day after, the situation is different. Sometimes, we find that when there's plenty of time to do it, it doesn't necessarily mean that more people will go.
Besides, here in Canada, voting measures are extremely voter-friendly when you look at what's happening in municipalities, such as in Quebec. We need to find legal and impartial accommodation measures so that the Chief Electoral Officer can do his job.
I was hearing about voice recognition earlier. I'll ask him if that's an option. I think we've devoted enough study hours to cyber-attacks and fake news, among other things. We're very skittish.
That said, I realize that we're going to run out of resources soon. Earlier, my colleague said that we need more time, but that young people need to work, and that those who don't work could work. In the end, there's no winning recipe.
I find it interesting that we're discussing this together. Beyond what may be hidden—I'm insinuating that we're changing the date because it changes things in some people's pockets, but I'm not going there—at the end of the day, we have a Chief Electoral Officer who is exceptional in this democratic context, and we must have confidence in him. As in Quebec and elsewhere, he can very well postpone the election date. Why is it always Monday? If Monday is Thanksgiving, it'll be Tuesday. There's no winning solution.
That said, I think we're opening the door very wide because, yes, there are federal, provincial and municipal elections. Of course, there will be some overlap, but are we doing this on purpose? I think the Chief Electoral Officer has all the expertise to make this choice. What do you think?
