Let us come back to the matter of the number. Let us suppose that we decided to use a second number, a number that would be reserved exclusively for Elections Canada. I do not think these people are necessarily very lucky, but there are five Yvon Godin just in my very own riding of Acadie—Bathurst. Imagine the kind of phone calls they sometimes get.
If we created a number for the exclusive use of Elections Canada, I do not think that would infringe on anyone's privacy, because the number would have no meaning whatsoever except for Elections Canada. It would be better than to force people to provide photo ID and 10 different identification documents. You would have a greater chance of winning the 6/49 lottery jackpot than of having two Yvon Godin with the same number. This would allow for identity verification and would be worthless outside of Elections Canada.
