Do you anticipate any circumstances, Minister, in which an individual, even with this legislation passing, would still have the ability to vote without visual identification as proof of identity? In other words, right now there are two alternatives: you can provide a government-issued piece of ID with your photo on it, or, failing that, you can produce two other pieces of identification as approved by the Chief Electoral Officer, both stating the name of the individual and one stating the residence. But it doesn't appear that visual ID is required on that. Is that still a way for someone to get around this visual ID?
