Thank you.
I say that, Mr. Chair, because I'm concerned about the politics of this bill. The concept is fairly sound: have visual identification. The problem is the politics of this bill. And the problem with Bill C-31 was that we were given a flawed bill that we didn't necessarily need; so here we are....
My question to you, Mr. Mayrand, is whether there any other means, through regulation or giving discretion to election officials, by which we can confirm the identity of voters other than through legislation.
