Actually, the point I was going to make, sort of reflecting on your thoughts, Mr. Chair, is that we should be trying to convince each other as we work through these amendments rather than our witnesses. Actually, the point I was going to make has just been made by Mr. McDougall.
I thought the intent, certainly, as we've gone through some months now of deliberations over how to best prevent voter fraud, was to provide polling clerks with the assistance, the tools--better tools--to do the job of preventing voter fraud. That was the intent.
The intent wasn't to make our lives easier as candidates or as campaign teams, and in that context, clause 18, as we discussed earlier in this round of questioning about this amendment, accomplishes what the committee itself was going to set out to accomplish, which was to assist the polling clerks, not to assist to us in campaigning or sending out targeted mailings based on knowledge of the age of our constituents.
So that's just the point I wanted to make.
