Procedure and House Affairs committee  If I understood you correctly, you are asking whether the information is provided several times? I said earlier that the political parties would generally come every half hour to look at the information.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  They can certainly observe what is going on, but the information is only given to the electoral list officers. Their job and their responsibility is to fill out those documents and hand them to the runner — that's what we call them in Quebec, and you probably do as well.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  There are a number of ways for these people to be able to vote. Other than the ID, there is the ID verification table that a person can go to with another individual who identifies him or her based on the criteria set out in the legislation; the other possibility is for that person to provide documents other than those required under the legislation and the regulations.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  They could be seated at the table, except there is a chance there would not be enough room, because there are already four people there. They can sit behind the table or somewhere else in the room.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, absolutely. That is what these individuals are hired for.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  They pass on the information to all the political parties and all the independent candidates.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. In Quebec, all individuals wishing to vote must identify themselves using forms of identification that are recognized in the legislation or by regulation. The kinds of ID that are recognized in the legislation are the Quebec Health Care card, the Canadian passport and the driver's licence.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That card would probably not be accepted in Quebec. However, there is one exception in Quebec: seniors over the age of 75 are not required to have their photograph on their health care card, although the card may be used as identification.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  At every polling station, we have a system in place which is called the elector ID verification table. That will allow someone who doesn't have one of the types of ID provided for in the legislation or the regulations to identify himself or herself to the people at that table.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  In Quebec, the person accompanying another individual who is unable to provide ID must have a health insurance card, a driver's licence, a Canadian passport, a Certificate of Indian Status or a Canadian Forces ID card. That person can accompany only one other individual, unless it is a family member.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I told you that another person can identify an elector who has no ID or that this person can provide two documents to prove identity.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  They can be documents or identification with a photo or two documents with the person's name on them. It could be a hydro bill or a student photo ID. Both of those documents can be used for identification purposes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It could be two documents with no photo but with the person's name and address on them; for example, a Hydro-Quebec bill or phone company bill.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  He waits for the next elector, of course.
