"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6689419\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Sarnia\u2014Lambton for her speech. I would like to know what she thinks about election day.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6689420\" data-originallang=\"fr\">One of the recommendations that was made was to extend the polling period to three days, by holding the election not just on Monday but on the previous Saturday and Sunday as well. That would make it easier to find people to work at the polls, particularly young people, who would not be in school. It would also make it easier to access more potential polling locations. In order to facilitate social distancing, we might need more polling stations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6689421\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Would it have been useful to incorporate that recommendation into the bill?</p>",

Cela aurait pour avantage de faciliter l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 la main-d'\u0153uvre, notamment \u00e0 celle des jeunes, qui ne sont pas \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole. Cela permettrait aussi de faciliter l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 davantage de lieux de vote potentiels. En effet, pour faciliter la distanciation sociale, il devra peut-\u00eatre y avoir plus de lieux de vote.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6689421\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Est-ce une recommandation qu'il aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 utile d'int\u00e9grer au projet de loi?</p>"
