Yes, Madam Chair.
I am a little ambivalent about the discussion we are having. At the outset, I agree that during a pandemic, we need to prepare for elections so as to ensure people's health and safety. From my perspective, that is the most important element, and you stated it very well, Madam Chair.
However, as a Quebecker, I must fight for the French fact in Quebec and for respect for my language. In fact, yesterday, we were very happy that the House of Commons agreed that Quebec is a French-speaking nation. The fight we have been waging for hundreds of years in Quebec to preserve the language and to be served in our language—

The need to protect citizens' health goes without saying, but democratic life must still continue and elections must be held in due form, as they usually are.
Candidates always visit polling stations in a respectful manner. All candidates have rules to follow. So, I don't see any reason why candidates should be prevented from going there to see if everything is going well, while respecting the rules, not only the ones that existed in the first place, but also the health rules that have been added to them.
I don't think this is a problem that prevents us from visiting the polling stations and checking if democracy is going well.

In the Bloc Québécois, we consider that a change in the behaviour of voters in the exercise of their right to vote is quite important. We cannot conceive that in the short term, we could open the door in any way to an exercise of this kind.
That is why we consider that, even though the Chief Electoral Officer has said it—and he has said it, according to Mr. Turnbull— what is written remains, and that needs to be put in the bill. So we agree with that.

I don't want to interrupt the discussion, which I listened to and learned a lot from, by the way. However, I would like to point out a translation problem. In paragraph 6, it says that “le directeur général des élections peut prendre des instructions”. It seems that the translation is not precise enough, and that it should instead read “le directeur général des élections peut donner des instructions”.
If this clause is ever adopted, the word “prendre” should be changed to “donner” to make the French version consistent with the English.
Am I making a mistake by asking this? I'm asking our friend from Elections Canada if this way of writing it would be more accurate.

The term “prendre” is really not adequate. I understand what you are saying, but the Chief Electoral Officer cannot “prendre des instructions”.

You are the expert, and if you tell me that this is the customary language in terms of the powers that the Chief Electoral Officer has under the law, I trust you completely. When I was looking at the translation, I thought “donner” was better than “prendre”, but I can see why you are reluctant to say “donner”. It's a bit paternalistic.

Instead of amendment BQ‑3, we would have put forward the amendment proposed by the Chief Electoral Officer, because it is more comprehensive. I therefore withdraw Amendment BQ‑2.
I don't know if you want us to talk about amendment BQ‑3 immediately, or follow the list and come back to it later.

Excuse me, I know I'm getting in the way of our process right now, but would you be so kind as to tell me if the amendment I want to move, the Chief Electoral Officer's amendment, is related to clause 3?
If it is, I think I missed the opportunity to move it.

It is the Chief Electoral Officer's amendment, where he proposes two days, Saturday and Sunday. When the CEO came last time, he had sent us a proposed amendment, and I would have liked to propose it. My colleague said earlier that I should wait and that we should follow the list. So I had understood that I had to wait for my turn to propose amendment BQ‑3.

It is the amendment that contains the following explanatory note:
The attached motions would amend Bill C‑19 to provide for a two-day polling period over a Saturday and Sunday. They would provide for polling stations to be open for 8 hours on each day of the polling period, for a total of 16 hours. The motion amending clause 3 would harmonize the maximum hours of operation for a polling station established in an institution where seniors or persons with a disability reside with the total opening hours of ordinary polling stations over the polling period, set at 16.
