No, I'm not saying that.
Let's look at particularly proposed subsection 55(1), the underlined portion:
the giving of information referred to in subsection 44(2) or (2.1) that the Chief Electoral Officer intends to include in the Register of Electors,
--and then it goes on to say what was already present--
if that information is needed for establishing such a list.
My concern here, as was brought forward to this committee, is around the defining of that. I appreciate trying to help the CEO--and by design, helping us--share information to have more accurate lists. But as I had mentioned before about enumeration, there are other ways of doing that. We'll get to some of those amendments later.
So I guess my concern here, Chair, is that we've opened up the process to a free flow of information between different bodies, to make it easier, without defining the use. What we're jettisoning is exact language: “only for the purpose of establishing lists of electors for an election or a referendum”. Well, what other uses would they have for this information?
