Thank you. I have my book open here first. We're right at it here.
Mr. Chair, through you, thank you to our witnesses for being back today.
As we talk about clause 2, I don't know if there's been a chance for reflection on Elections Canada's behalf.
Last week, I asked several questions about the new nature of this, particularly with the role of scrutineers in the interactions, the uniqueness of polling stations in long-term care settings and the assistance of electors in casting their ballot. This is of particular concern and a major change.
Has there been any more thought from Elections Canada? I know it's only been a few days, but I do think this is important for us to perhaps have some assurances on.
Is there collection of data or statistics on the number of individuals in long-term care settings who were assisted and the number of individuals who did help? For an example, one staff member assisted 34 electors to cast their ballot at a long-term care home.
Is there a way or a commitment of some sort that when we're looking at this.... The reason I ask is, after every general election—actually after every by-election, I believe—we get a report from Elections Canada. It is very insightful and helps us with legislative and policy changes.
Is there an ability or a way that Elections Canada can tell us that it will be able to collect that information and share that in something like the report that comes back to us?
