Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for coming here today and sharing their wisdom and knowledge with us as we undertake this study on the state of civic resilience in Canada today.
Mr. Gunn, maybe I'll start with you.
You talked about voter engagement and the work that your organization has been doing in encouraging young people to get involved. I think that work has borne some fruit. I understand that in the last election, in 2025, voter participation among younger people went up.
However, overall, our voter turnout is not that great. There was a record turnout of 80% back in 1958, in the John Diefenbaker landslide. That's sort of the benchmark, and it's been sliding since then. It sort of bumps up and down a bit. Provincially, sometimes it's very low, and in by-elections, it's particularly low. Perhaps you could comment on voter turnout and how that ties into a sense of civic resilience.
