It's a valid point. Whether it's Sheila Fraser, past chief electoral officers, our current Chief Electoral Officer, or well over 120—or it might even be 160—political academics from all across Canada, there's this mounting opposition to this bill.
Sadly, I think it is going to have to be members of the Conservative Party appealing to this Prime Minister to do the right thing and allow for changes to occur. If that doesn't happen, it's going to be difficult for us to see...because the Prime Minister's Office just doesn't want to have change.
You made reference to something that we have recognized is a fundamental flaw in the legislation. There are a number of them, but the one that we're really interested in is the inability of Elections Canada to compel a witness. We believe, ultimately, that's going to weaken our laws. As more and more people are aware, all we have to do is just say no, and at the end of the day there are going to be fewer prosecutions.
You made reference to the compelling of the witnesses. Do you believe that it's an absolute must in terms of an amendment for this legislation?
