Yes.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This wouldn't have implications for the policy objectives, other than perhaps restricting the ability of the Chief Electoral Officer at Elections Canada to implement the proposals in the bill, depending on when the bill received royal assent.
Typically for implementation of measures to the Canada Elections Act, the Chief Electoral Officer requires a certain number of months to implement all of the new measures. Some can be implemented earlier. There's a provision in the bill that allows the Chief Electoral Officer up to six months. It's possible that some measures wouldn't be implemented in time for an election date that's earlier.
