The issue was raised again because we would have issues, I believe, of harmonizing rules among various jurisdictions. Again, eligibility for electors varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The right to vote varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Proof of identity, for example, is not the same for every jurisdiction. So you would have in some parts of the country some electors who would be eligible to cast a ballot on the referendum, but the same elector living in the next province would not be eligible to cast a ballot on the same question. So these are issues for Parliament.
On November 17th, 2009. See this statement in context.
