Thank you.
I won't need the entire five minutes, so I'll cede the remaining time to my colleague Mr. Preston.
Again, just to set the record straight with Mr. Angus here, I have no doubt that Mr. Angus spoke in the House about the homeless issue, but my point is that there was absolutely no discussion on the potential disenfranchisement of rural voters because of the civic address/residential address situation at this committee. His colleague, Monsieur Godin, never raised it.
I will not just go on my word. I would encourage anyone, Mr. Angus included, to check the transcripts of this committee. If he can find any mention from the NDP that this was going to be a problem, and the objections they raised, then I will apologize unequivocally, because there were none. There were none.
Mr. Chairman, again I put that offer on the table, and I look forward to Mr. Angus producing the transcript that says the NDP identified the fact that Bill C-31 could have caused the disenfranchisement of one million rural voters because of the civic address thing. There was no discussion of that.
I'll cede the rest of my time to Mr. Preston.
