I'd flip it, and say there are people who are registrants right now who have said, very firmly, that as a result of this proposed code, they would not participate in the democratic process in the future. That's bad.
You are free to participate in the democratic process, as I could go and volunteer for a local candidate, but after the fact, I would be limited in what my professional capacity would be to interact with government—and not necessarily with that person but with government itself.
There is an argument to be made that this is a violation of the section 6 rights to freely work in the country. I haven't seen anyone really articulate that point yet, but we've got courts, and I'm interested in their views.
