You understand why we wish to use the date of birth, do you not? You told Ms. Picard that we should perhaps, as they do in Quebec, ask to see photo ID. We are not talking about what can be found on magazines, such as Chatelaine, where there is a label bearing an address. One can pick that up in virtually any mailbox.
If a person who appears at a polling station and who should be 18 years of age looks like he or she is 78 years old, then we have a problem, and it is a problem that iacn occur with our present system. People can use cards that they pick up in a mall. This is why we thought of using the date of birth.
In your view, are the federal laws that you enforce more restrictive or more liberal than Quebec's laws? Are they truly comparable?
