Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do have a couple of questions for clarification that I would like to ask. First of all, I would like to indicate my support for an enhanced electoral proceeding. I think our Chief Electoral Officer has done an excellent job of helping us streamline and modernize things, and we can certainly look forward to a more efficient process.

I have two questions that I would like to pose. One of them to the Minister's opening comments, where he noted that the revisions will provide the right for an elector to have the opportunity to decline their ballot. Does this mean that in doing so, is that particular decision recorded and does it become part of the official result of an election? I will stop there, Mr. Chair, and await the reply. Thank you.
