I share your feelings, Mr. Godin. That is why I said that you had identified a problem. I explained the reason why the problem is as it is. However, I recommended somewhere that we sit down together and examine the matter, to see how we could deal with these specific cases.
We must also take into account the fact that the people who are in the hospital do not all come from the same riding. That is why we cannot set up a polling station there on election day. People in the hospital come from a variety of ridings. I was president of the Ottawa General Hospital, and there could be people from 20 different ridings at any given time. That is the other reason why you did not want polling stations in hospitals on election day. We did not want people from outside the riding who are at the hospital to vote in that riding. However, I would like us to sit down and examine the matter again.
