Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. It's a pleasure to be here today. Thank you to all of our witnesses today. Before we go ahead, I should let you know that as the lead for the Ontario redistribution on the part of the Conservatives, I attended nearly all the public hearings. There were more than 40 of them, and there were 20 or 30 witnesses at each one, so it was quite a long undertaking.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. Ms. Zahid, I have the same—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's very good. Ms. Lantsman, I think you mentioned that everyone was on board in your area. Mr. Coteau, I have one question. Do you know who's organizing the group Save Don Valley East?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Do you know who is leading that charge on Save Don Valley East? Do you have a name of somebody there?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's great. I want to talk to Mr. McKay. In terms of all the changes, you mentioned that your changes have sort of integrated with Ms. Zahid's and Mr. Oliphant's and that whole area. Since none of these really violate the quota, have you heard from anybody who would object to the redistribution that you three are suggesting?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Do we know how many moderators you've had? I'm trying to get an idea of what they get to do in a debate.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. That doesn't really tell me how much, but anyway, I'll move on. In terms of the format, what feedback have your received? What changes would you make in the length of questions, or what other changes would you make to enhance the debates?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you to our witnesses for appearing. My first question has to do with one of the parts of the estimate. We've heard that, with the NDP committing to support the Liberals through to 2025, we don't expect to have an election before then. When we look at the professional and special services of $203,652 in every year that there's not an election, what is that money being spent to do?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Very good. With respect to the moderators, are they paid a fee or a stipend? If so, can you give us an idea of how much that is?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Do you pay the moderators a stipend or a fee to moderate? How much is it?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It's in the production specialists budget.
