If it is a national referendum, held Canada-wide, I think the rules in the federal Referendum Act should apply. There absolutely has to be harmonization, so people all have the same right to vote, in that situation, so the rules do not vary from one province to another. If the referendum is held under the national Act, certainly there will be no problem in that regard. Again, I recall the problems we saw in the 1992 referendum in Quebec. The Quebec Act did not have an actual residence rule, while the federal Act had one. As a result, about 10,000 electors were unable to vote.
On December 1st, 2009. See this statement in context.
