Thank you for your question.
I would certainly put it the other way by saying that we're undertaking a lot of effort to build the Canadian identity, to build social cohesion, and to invite a de-integration of all Canadians. So it's a balancing act. While on the one hand we more than want to invite and recognize the opportunity for those nationals who are here permanently or temporarily to be able to exercise their votes in their countries of origin--that's the absentee ballot system--we at the same time think it is in our best national interest to continue to build an approach that fosters cohesion and clarity.
As you say, if you are representing a number of nationals in Canada, well, presumably those nationals, many of them of dual nationalities, would expect you in that parliament abroad to represent you. So it creates confusion.
