That's a political choice that was made at the time. We were well aware of the difficulty it might have caused. Some people who lived in Quebec could not vote because they had not resided in Quebec for six months. One of the requirements of the Quebec act is that a person must have been domiciled in Quebec for at least six months before an electoral or referendum event is held. So it might have caused a problem. Obviously, that was a rule that Quebec was adamant on. In the case of the 1995 referendum, if the requirement of six months' residence in Quebec before the referendum had not existed, a lot of people might have come to Quebec for the weekend and voted.
