Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. I know he worked very hard last night to prepare it.
Although many of the measures in this bill are generally aligned with our vision of democracy, there is still one very problematic element.
Pushing back the date of the federal election by a week would mean that it would take place just six days before municipal elections which, in Quebec, are also very important. We are talking about a local democracy that is already struggling to carve out a space, and we absolutely want to protect it.
We want these two elections to be held on very different dates. I would like to hear my colleague's opinion on this.
