Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the researchers from the Standing Committee on Legislation pointed out to us an error that we had made in the legislation after the bill had been reviewed by the Standing Committee on Legislation. To specifically answer the Member's questions, subsection 181(3) provides that the chief electoral officer shall publish a summary of an additional return made under subsection 179(4). The problem is, Mr. Chairman, that clause 37(c) of Bill 15 repeals subsection 179(4) and then there would be no provision for the additional return in the Elections Act. It was picked up by the researchers in the Standing Committee on Legislation and pointed out to us that there needed to be a motion to amend. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
