Mr. Speaker, our legislative framework needs to evolve whenever new issues arise.
We see that with Bill C‑25, for which there is a bit of consensus in the House, based on what I am hearing. In particular, I am thinking of the issues of addressing foreign interference, strengthening the rules for nominations, implementing stricter rules on political fundraising and preventing disruptive activities when it comes to protecting elections. One example is also the longest ballot committee, which we have seen in action in various by-elections and general elections in recent years.
I want to ask my colleague why we should review the Canada Elections Act on a regular basis and ensure that we are addressing emerging issues and responding to them in a collaborative way, as we are doing now.
I also want my colleague to clarify whether he agrees that the bill is almost ready to go to committee so that we can continue studying it.
