How do I know? There was an ad in the Edmonton Sun Jobs section for Chief Returning Officer and returning officers
A sure sign of Election Prepardness.
I say it will be in the fall, if at all in 2007, and apparently the journalist panel on CTV's QP agree with me.

On the other hand, it just might have something to do with the passing of Bill C-2, the Federal Accountability Act:
ReplyDelete" Elections Canada will now proceed as expeditiously as possible to appoint returning officers for all 308 federal electoral districts. Selection criteria and a description of the process will be sent to Parliament and posted on Elections Canada's Web site at www.elections.ca. A list of available positions will be posted on our Web site and will also be advertised in newspapers and on a number of other key Web sites. "
That could be, and then again the postings are all for 2005, and it could be housekeepting. But last time they did this, it was in preparation for an election.
