If you run a national election, you're not going to ask the provinces to run it for you. If you run a national referendum, I don't know why you would either. It's not that I agree with the delivery model. I quite disagree. We have three agencies serving every voter. That is triplication in government. That's a very big complaint in the province of Ontario. Why do I fund three agencies to deliver an election? Why doesn't the local clerk deliver all the elections? It's interesting, but it's very real. Consistency would say that you do it nationally.
