Definition: This category includes certain disorders of behaviour that are not classifiable under other categories. They are characterized by repeated acts that have no clear rational motivation, cannot be controlled, and generally harm the patient's own interests and those of other people. The patient reports that the behaviour is associated with impulses to action. The cause of these disorders is not understood and they are grouped together because of broad descriptive similarities, not because they are known to share any other important features.

General Recommendation No. 6 (1988) on Effective National Machinery and Publicity

Officials — Certification procedure — Complaint by a candidate not selected — Rejection decision — Obligation to state reasons — Scope — Not permissible for the statement of reasons to be formulated merely in general and stereotypical terms

Furthermore, a general, stereotypical statement of reasons which does not contain any information specific to the case of the person concerned amounts in reality to a total absence of a statement of reasons.

Regarding the control exercised by the State, first, the Advocate General observes that public-law bodies have played a part in the mechanism put in place by the French legislation: the amount of the tax which every end consumer of electricity must pay in France is determined annually by a ministerial order. Moreover, even though in practice the legislation in question does not ensure exact equivalence between the additional costs borne by distributors and the charge used to reimburse those distributors, the law lays down the principle that the obligation to purchase electricity generated by wind turbines must be covered in full, which, ...[+++]according to the Advocate General, proves that the State is guaranteeing the mechanism as a whole. Furthermore, the law establishes administrative penalty mechanisms in the event of non‑payment of the charge.

However, in the first hour of debate, we heard a fair bit, including from the side of the governing party, about a concern that the mechanism being selected in Bill C-424 for an additional way to contest elections through the Chief Electoral Officer would involve the Chief Electoral Officer in almost a politicization of his role, that there would not be sufficient neutrality with that mechanism.
