It's a vicious circle. I don't question that.
However, I would say to you that—and this is why our initiatives are based on evaluations of the last election—55% of electors did not vote. They told us why they didn't vote: it wasn't accessible enough; they had schedule conflicts; they were too busy; they had to feed the children; there was a soccer game, and so on.
As an electoral agency, it is our responsibility to ensure that voting is as accessible as possible. It's clear that that won't motivate electors. That's another aspect. All of civil society must get involved in that aspect.
Elections Canada can do a little work with young people in the area of civic education. We try to do it on the campuses, but, here again, it's quite complicated if you're on a campus and you want to go and vote. Our role is to try and see how we can simplify that. That's a broader responsibility, and civil society has to take charge of it.
