Mr. Godin, you have identified a problem that has existed since the act was amended in 1993. The act stipulates that the lists must be revised—and I have no choice in this regard—six days prior to the election. From that point to election day, we cannot do anything. So from that day on, there can be no requests for special ballots. We cannot do anything for people who have heart attacks between that day and election day. And you are the ones who adopted the act that prevents me from acting otherwise.
You had reasons for doing that, reasons that were justified administratively speaking, because you want voters lists that are up-to-date on election day. You gave me, me and the electoral system, six days to finalize the lists, with annotations for everyone who has requested a special ballot, because you do not want these people to vote twice. That is why you, as parliamentarians, included those provisions in the act.
It will be impossible to eliminate this six-day period, and it will be difficult to shorten it, but there may be a way to do that. But if you change the period from six days to four, in the meantime, there will be victims of heart attacks who will not be able to vote, and you will receive complaints about that. That is a reality that we will not be able to change.
