Yes, it is. I don't see what's wrong with what we had before.
In every other process in my life..... I'm starting to remember that when I sent papers for my election, Elections Canada deemed them to have been received when they received them, not when they sent them back to whomever. In every other system it is when you receive it.
You know what? I'm sticking with what we have. When the clerk receives it, it's deemed to have been received, fine. Let's move on. This is getting too complicated.
