Mr. Speaker, that was a well-considered speech and I, indeed, look forward to continuing the debate and consideration of this very important piece of legislation.
Among the other interesting elements of the member's speech, I note his comments on the longest ballot. Some of the commentary around this is almost adulating in terms of applauding what I would consider to be the harassment of electors that is engendered by the behaviour of the longest ballot committee. It is truly, as the member pointed out, a perversion of some of our rules.
I wonder if the member has additional thoughts on the measures that we have put in place and if he believes that they will be sufficient to recentre the local contests that characterize our elections and to make people be legitimate and considered candidates in these elections.
