Mr. Chair, the returning officer does not have the ability to compel a facility administrator to open up their facility for a poll. The numbers we shared with your colleague Mr. Berthold were that of about 5,000 facilities that were served, there were about 3.5% that did not wish to have a poll in their institution, which is about 187 or so across the country.
On December 5th, 2024. See this statement in context.
