Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is Recommendation 11 of the report. I move that this Assembly recommends that the Elections and Plebiscites Act be amended to require the Chief Electoral Officer to submit an annual report to the Legislative Assembly describing work done under the direction of the Chief Electoral Officer pursuant to the act;

• require the Chief Electoral Officer to submit a report to the Legislative Assembly after each election or plebiscite about the conduct of the election or plebiscite;

• provide the Chief Electoral Officer with the option of combining his or her reports into one in the year of an election or plebiscite;

• provide that the Chief Electoral Officer may report to the Legislative Assembly at any other time on any matter that the Chief Electoral Officer considers necessary; and

• provide that any of the Chief Electoral Officer's reports to the Legislative Assembly may include recommendations for legislative amendments to improve the administration of elections under this or any other related act.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
