Thank you, Madam Chair. Clause 7 amends the Elections Act to strike out several words including the word "and". It also adds a new section to give the Chief Electoral Officer the authority to modify any form prescribed by the regulations. It strikes out an incorrect reference to "election clerk" and replaces it with "assistant returning officer". It makes several additional changes, including replacing a comma and substituting numbers that were incorrectly inserted in the first version of the act. It corrects a grammatical error in the English version of subparagraph 42(b)(1) to strike out "elector" and substitute "an elector". It also makes some other grammatical changes to correct errors in the English version.
