Burton Bailey Conservative
“Can you talk about the extra cost and work needed to handle by-elections with huge ballots?”
“Mr. Speaker, I, too, have something in common. My riding is next to Battle River—Crowfoot. One of the things that I learned in August was the expense related to the longest ballot and the extra staff that were required. I wonder if you could comment or know anything more about how difficult it is to make that ballot and the expense that it added. We keep hearing about how these by-elections cost so much money. Can you comment?”
