Procedure and House Affairs committee There are a number of countries that have very elaborate systems. I think I mentioned Mexico before.

Procedure and House Affairs committee If we were able to maintain the present update mechanisms to provide cards to people, then it would be much less expensive than what the other countries are doing—I agree with that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Under the present law, when we do revision, we knock on doors. If the person who answers the door is not already on the list, we offer the option to register.

Procedure and House Affairs committee With respect to the communications plan, no detailed plan has been prepared. We're waiting for third reading in the House, and then we would do detailed plans.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Having a picture ID with a postal code is very difficult, because that's practically the same as an address. Maintaining that is a problem.
