Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Perrault and Mr. Roussel. It's good to see both of you back at the committee.
I'm going to ask Mr. Perrault some questions about the so-called longest ballot committee, which you reference in your report. In the last election, this group targeted the Carleton riding, although prior to the last election, they targeted several by-elections and then later targeted the Battle River—Crowfoot riding in the recent by-election, with a total of 91 candidates in Carleton and a record 203 candidates in Battle River—Crowfoot.
Would you agree, broadly speaking, that the committee's tactic of flooding the ballot with an endless list of candidates had an overall disruptive and negative impact on the electoral process in Carleton, in the prior by-elections and in Battle River—Crowfoot?
