First, regarding the international missions, we have completed the missions for Iraq and Haiti at this point in time, and there is no ongoing mission. Those missions are generally funded outside of Elections Canada, either by CIDA, DFAIT, or other international organizations. My plan, certainly as the needs arise or the requests come, is to consider them, given the priorities of the organization at the time, but certainly to seek to foster the branding of Canada around the world through our electoral process.
With respect to first nations, there are a number of initiatives that are taking place to assist and foster greater registration among first nations. We have a number of community relations officers who provide information and facilitate the process for registration. We also use elders and youth in the community to reach out to first nations.
As for the requirements under Bill C-31, I think I did forward a letter to the chair of the committee regarding identification pieces. I understand the matter is still before the Senate, and I'm sure the matter will be raised in due course when it is discussed there.
As for electoral reform, I must admit I'm not familiar with the Law Reform Commission.... I understand, and I think we all understand, that many provinces are looking at alternatives, and we expect to have maybe two provincial referendums on these matters in the coming years. I also understand that the government has launched a process to have public consultations on the democratic process and democratic reform. I am not privy to those consultations, but I'm certainly looking forward to the outcomes and the proposals that will be coming through that process.
