Inasmuch as there are now two notable recommendations—among I believe the seven you made—that they will have to be compliant with, I do think that time will tell. We believe, nonetheless, that it will have a dissuasive effect and, taken together, all seven, hopefully, even more so.
I really don't want to be in the position of second-guessing a decision that would have been made on a factual and a legal assessment led by the Attorney General of the day, but I do think, to be perhaps a bit more precise, that this longest ballot business is incredibly frustrating to voters and has a dissuasive effect on voters. I think all of us should be properly preoccupied with that.
I don't like it when the target is a Conservative or a Bloc MP any more than I like it when the target is a Liberal, and I think we have a common reason to make sure we protect democracy by eliminating this abuse of it.
