Thank you very much, colleagues.
I hope everybody will indulge me, if I could have three minutes.
I want to ask the witnesses a question. A number of witnesses have been very cooperative with an incredible amount of useful information.
An observation was made by one of our witnesses in an attempt to help folks deemed to be homeless to obtain sufficient identification to allow them to vote in elections. This individual had assisted approximately 350 to 400 statutory declarations. Some of the examples of what they deemed to be sufficient to identify the person were things such as a rent receipt--which would probably make them not homeless, but that was something they did say--as well as anything in their pockets, such as a prescription.
My concern was that another witness had offered that these folks sometimes were subject to theft. Even if they did have identification, often it was stolen, or they suggested it was stolen. I suspected and asked the witnesses that it would make sense that the prescriptions would probably be stolen too.
Given the testimony that some statutory declarations are being signed using such things as a prescription bottle in somebody's pocket, does that create any concerns that this is a legitimate identifier?
