"I am pleased to be here today to speak to you about Bill C-76, which proposes a major reform of the Canada Elections Act. Overall I believe this is a very important piece of legislation that will allow us to modernize electoral administration in Canada, make the voting process more inclusive, and reinforce its integrity. Bill C-76 wholly or partially implements a majority of the 132 recommendations made by my predecessor in 2016. I was very pleased to see that most of the key recommendations were unanimously supported upon review by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs."
