Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
It's nice to see you again, Dr. Garnett, and to the rest of you, it's nice to meet you virtually for the first time.
My first question is for Ms. Laanela.
In Canada, as you know, there is a constitutional separation between federal government responsibilities and provincial government responsibilities. We're talking a lot about equal representation and decision-making at the federal level. I wonder if you have any comment about the fact that there are constitutional authorities that are strictly the responsibility of provinces and whether Canadians living abroad.... How would that work? We don't necessarily have relationships with Canadian embassies abroad at the provincial level. In terms of encouraging voters abroad, if they're going to be allowed to vote in provincial elections as well, what would that look like? Who is going to facilitate those elections? If we're talking about equality of representation, is it not important that Canadians abroad should be voting in provincial elections as well? What would that look like?
