So we are on the same wavelength here.
On page 44, you talk about the voter identification card. There is reference to the fact that it could be considered one of the authorized pieces of ID. I have many reservations about that, and I will tell you why.
From the very beginning, I have had problems with the famous permanent list, because I do not think it is accurate enough. It is not uncommon to find cases in ridings where, according to the final list, there are four occupants in a one-bedroom apartment. I know that there could be bunk beds, but at some point, it gets difficult to fit all these people in. With door-to-door enumeration, we find that people are not in these apartments 100% of the time. There can also be an issue with private residences. I have the list of the neighbours on my street, and I know that some of them have been gone for five or six years or have died. And yet they are still on the list. If people are allowed to use the voter information card, I think we are opening the door to fraud. I would ask you to be very cautious in this regard.
On page 38 of your report, you talk about the problem getting our telephones connected quickly or reasonably quickly. We have experienced this problem as well. You say that you are currently looking a new telecommunications technologies. I would ask you to keep us informed of what you find out, because this could be very helpful to us as well.
