Senator Miville-Dechêne: Like you, I’m keenly interested in electoral debates. However, I must say that I have been quite concerned ever since an independent commission has been handling these debates that seem increasingly formatted and artificial, where we are unable to hear the voice of the candidates. Everything is scientifically measured, but, honestly, not very moving. What’s more, the last time, during the English debate, the size of the event was a terrible mistake and there weren’t enough journalists in charge. What do you think about the current format, which I dislike immensely?

Hon. Julie Miville-Dechêne: Senator Simons, would you agree to take a question?
