—if you have your status card, all you would need is a letter from someone in the band administration to say that this is so and so who lives on this reserve. Then you would be able to cast a ballot.
The problem with VICs, as explained by a couple of witnesses, is that they're pretty unreliable, particularly voter information cards going to on-reserve recipients. So one of the provisions in this bill was to try to alleviate that problem and make it as easy as possible to show proof of residence. With a status card and a letter from either a band council member, a chief, or a band administrator, you would be able to use those together as identification and proof of identity and cast a ballot.
I guess my question to you, then, is this. Would that alleviate a lot of the problems that you have identified?
