It's a good question, and I know it's also in the materials that have come from the research branch.
I think in a way the circumstances in 1992 were unique. Secondly, there were anomalies between who could vote under the Quebec Referendum Act and who could vote in the rest of the country. So what do you do about that?
First of all, if now you recommend that we create the Canada Referendum Act as a comprehensive statute, you have the opportunity, in the process of doing that, to make sure that it harmonizes as greatly as possible with provisions in other provinces. It's rare, though, that there would ever again be all referendums at the same time like that. The main thing is simply paying attention to what the charter requires in terms of the guarantee of democratic rights to citizens. Beyond that, getting as much uniformity as possible, I think we do live in a federal state and there will inevitably be some inconsistencies, but as long as they're at a small level and not affecting fundamental rights, that should not be a great problem.
