Thank you, Mr. Blanchet. I have a great deal of respect for the electoral system in Quebec which, in a sense, has been a model for the rest of the country for the last 20 or 25 years. I found your presentation very interesting.
I have a few questions relating to things that you did not address in your presentation, and particularly people who may be forgotten or fall through the cracks as a result of the system we are considering putting in place through this legislation. I am referring to the homeless and Aboriginal Canadians.
Perhaps I'll switch to English at this point.
Those who might be neglected or might not be able to exercise their franchise.... You've had a similar system to the one we're looking at adopting; indeed, to a large degree, the Quebec system is the model we're looking at adopting, in terms of requirements for identification when one votes. And you've dealt, I believe, with the problem of those who might potentially be left off the voters list, who might be unable to exercise their franchise.
I'm wondering if you can tell us what we ought to do, and what you have found it useful to do, to ensure that those who are homeless and aboriginal, in particular, are able to exercise their vote—especially those in the Grand Nord, or areas where they are very far removed from easy access to polls.
