Challenge accepted:

1.) The Election Act outlines the appointment of an EC. It does not outline the duties or powers the EC has. Elections are covered in The Elections Act, so there is no contradiction of The Charter.

2.) You;re assuming The Cabinet considers their duty secondary. At least, in this matter. Obviously this is false.

3.) The reverse of the situation is irrelevant, because the key element here (Hileville's decision) would be just as controversial.

Challenge completed. Next?
