If I could just add quickly, it is entirely possible to run a bad referendum. I think I would have faith in Elections Canada to do a good information campaign and I would have no problem with people strongly advocating during a referendum campaign, but it's entirely possible. At the provincial level we've had the governments involved in those processes just abandon ship before the referendum was even held. For it to be effective, everyone needs to be engaged, but if I didn't think we could do better, I'd have to quit my job.
