Why is there agreement on this issue in Quebec? In what way is Quebec's Election Act so different from the federal Elections Act that Mr. Blanchet, on the eve of the March 2007 elections in Quebec and faced with the threat of matters getting out of control, used his adaptation powers—perhaps that is not the terminology used in the Quebec act—to dispel any ambiguity and to reiterate that anyone wishing to vote must agree to uncover their face? This same rule will apply in the upcoming September 24 by-election in the Quebec riding of Charlevoix. If there is agreement on this issue in Quebec, why do you persist in not clarifying this so-called interpretation error?
