Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chénier, Ms. Kim, Mr. MacCallum or Mr. McDougall, do you know what the consequences are to a member of Parliament who uses the list of electors improperly, in other words, in contravention to the existing rules?
While Mr. Chénier is looking into this, perhaps I could ask Ms. Kim a question.
Ms. Kim, when talking about clause 19 we are told that the amendment stems from clause 17, in that it refers to the proposed clause 104.1 on authorizing candidates to use lists of electors. And it adds: “including using them for soliciting contributions and campaigning”.
Have you ever campaigned, Ms. Kim? Do you know what it's like? Targeting groups according to age, sex, ethnicity is what it takes to campaign.
If the intention is not to allow us to campaign, then that is a whole other matter. However, it seems the intention is to allow us to campaign. Accordingly, targeting groups according to age is part and parcel of campaigning.
