Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault will appear before the House Affairs committee to testify on a meeting he attended with the Liberals and NDP to discuss rewriting the Elections Act, a meeting that some Conservative MPs have criticized as “unusual.”

“Elections Canada was asked to attend a meeting in Ottawa to provide its technical expertise. The Chief Electoral Officer answered questions,” a spokesperson from Elections Canada told Blacklock’s Reporter, saying that Perrault will testify on what was said at the meeting.
