Without going through this, I think everybody was here when I remarked a while ago what at least one step is that we could undertake. There's no point in me going over that.
The base should be photo ID. I think the vast majority of Canadians have photo ID, as has been pointed out by my colleague, Mr. Preston, and others, during the discussions we've had over the last number of weeks. That would take care of most people. For those who don't have that ability, I think there are other ways we can do it.
My suggestion was basically that Elections Canada have some policy where the poll clerk is required to ask a question. I think part of the problem is that people at the polling stations are reluctant or shy—or whatever term you want to use—to confront someone. They might even be suspicious, but they're not sure they have the right to ask that person to identify themselves. So in many cases they just don't do it.
If it became standard procedure, where it's written into the act that if you don't have photo ID, you're required to produce some other identification.... In addition, the poll clerk would be required to ask for the date of birth. They would have that information in front of them. To me, it's a very simple check, that people identify who they are.
