Thank you again, Mr. Chairman. I move that this committee recommends that the Elections and Plebiscite Act be amended to permit only one person representing the candidate or the candidate to be presiding during the count of ballots. Thank you Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am just wondering what the rationale for this is. Because if you had five or six polling divisions in your riding,

you would want one person at each of the counting stations when the votes are being counted, so I am just wondering what the rationale for limiting it to one person or the candidate is. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is to represent one official from each camp at one individual box at a polling station, in the greater polling station, so there could be multiple boxes and, therefore, there could be a representative at each box. Thank you.
