Procedure and House Affairs committee  I believe Madam Paquet just said that the information is already provided to candidates on the electoral list. If the information is provided on the electoral list, would it not be publicly available already?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sure. Essentially, now that we have different tables with different polling stations, we need to ensure the safeguard that there will be proper reconciliation at the end. CPC-24 allows for that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, that is correct. It's at the end of every day. The way it stands now in the new legislation, it's controlled so that one person has been responsible for the one box all day and knows what is...how many there are at the end of the day. Is that...?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's what I'm struggling with: How can we ensure the proper reconciliation of the votes at each of the tables under this system?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sure. It's very similar in spirit to CPC-27. It's just about the candidates receiving this information about ballot boxes, and how many ballot boxes will be established at each station now that there is this new set-up. Again, it allows for better planning by candidates in terms

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We support this.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sure. This essentially just goes back to a voter information card not being an acceptable form of ID.
