Procedure and House Affairs committee Just quickly, I would say that we should save that and get into that as a whole separate meeting. There is so much to talk about on that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes, there are.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Mr. Blaikie, I would just suggest, and this is the attitude and behaviour of election agencies across the country, to make voting as successful as possible. This also comes from the last few years, and did come up in the debate around the Fair Elections Act. I wouldn't say that e

Procedure and House Affairs committee I'm sorry about that. Maybe you'll throw me in a couple seconds. What I wanted to comment on, because I'm watching the time fly by—and I'm just going to put it out there, because I don't know if I'll be given the time following this—is that the recommendations of the CEO were fr

Procedure and House Affairs committee It's one of the recommendations, I guess, that Elections Canada would like to see to help them access voting stations. I know Mr. Alghabra had some concerns initially about whether or not it should be on Monday or something like that. I think Canadians have no problem switching

Procedure and House Affairs committee Are you going to have time for me to respond to that, as well?
December 3rd, 2020Committee meeting
Taylor Gunn
Procedure and House Affairs committee To explain the relationship with Elections Canada—which we're grateful for—last year Elections Canada contributed around $2 million to the student vote program. That would put us somewhere in the range of under $2 per student. This is more than just active voting; in some cases t
December 3rd, 2020Committee meeting
Taylor Gunn
Procedure and House Affairs committee It doesn't really matter, because it's not up to anyone here. I think public health officials will play a role. We've seen three elections over the last couple of months and people still turned out. I think as you saw with Mr. Boda, they estimate that turnout only went down 2%, s

Procedure and House Affairs committee Thanks. Ms Sahota, how much time do I have for that?
December 3rd, 2020Committee meeting
Taylor Gunn
Procedure and House Affairs committee We just conducted parallel elections in the three elections that took place—in B.C., Saskatchewan, and the municipal elections in Nova Scotia. We missed New Brunswick because it was the first Friday and the return to school. Here's an interesting comparison. In British Columbia—
December 3rd, 2020Committee meeting
Taylor Gunn
Procedure and House Affairs committee I'll comment in relation to what we've done rather than just a general commentary. We agree with you. One of the philosophies of our approach is that an engaged teacher can engage their students. Last year, we had the capacity, which is rare, which means money, to gather and ph

December 3rd, 2020Committee meeting
Taylor Gunn
Procedure and House Affairs committee Sure. I can. Also, I might, through some of these answers, bring it back to some of the things that I think might be useful for the purposes of this committee. There are probably a few things that are most relative to our success in growing our school numbers across Canada. Fixe
