What are you proposing by way of a solution? One of the problems we have been made aware of is the high number of homeless in Vancouver East, which causes problems when there are elections. In Montreal, a lot of people are unable to find someone to vouch for them and, there again, we are not necessarily talking about only the very poor people, although I don't want to see the poorest members of our society disenfranchised. I'm afraid that this kind of system could prevent such individuals from voting.
