Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Minister.
Minister, I want to begin by saying that I appreciate your collaborative nature on this piece of legislation. As a new member of Parliament, this is the first government bill I've had the opportunity to scrutinize at committee, and it's very good to see.
I wonder if you would agree that the purpose of the bill is to collaborate and put forward improvements that will hopefully reassure Canadians of the soundness of our electoral system and the way we elect a government in the country. Would that be a fair assessment to you?
