Thank you very much.
Before we ask Mr. Proulx to continue, I will remind folks that Quebec requires that voters provide their name, address, and, if asked, their date of birth. They must also produce as identification one of the following: driver's licence, health insurance card, Canada passport, or other government body document.
We have had discussions about a driver's licence, a health card, something with a date of birth on it, a photo ID, a passport, a senior's card. I have heard comments from members that this could decrease voter turnout. I did my own study, comparing Quebec turnout and Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba, and indeed there is no statistically significant difference between voter turnouts. So this does not appear to be a deterrent.
I just wanted to make those comments. We'll continue our discussion and then we'll ask the question. I would focus the committee on the two pieces of identification, what would they be, or two of three, so that nobody is restricted perhaps. That's just a suggestion.
Monsieur Proulx, please.
