    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I intended to speak to the main Motion. I have an issue with this amendment because I believe these regulations have been processed and considered at length by the author, who is the agency responsible for the management of the elections. I believe they have similarly gone through due consideration by the Committee that oversees the Commission in respect of generation of this kind of regulations. As an attorney, I know there is a world of difference between “shall” and “may”. I would definitely want to know why the Member for Tongaren has issues with the language of “may”, which I believe affords the Commission a bit of latitude in the publication. Why and how would he want us to tie it to “shall” which is mandatory? My concern is that you may deny the Commission some legal room that may be necessary administratively to effectively execute that mandate. I have a problem with that amendment."
