In terms of the issue of vouching, it was actually part of the case I brought forward. However, I disagree that vouching should be eliminated. If properly administered, vouching enfranchises, and removing vouching disenfranchises, especially vulnerable demographics. It takes away their voice.
In regard to the issue of irregularities and fraud and how we investigate, Mr. Lukiwski raised a very important point. What if it's Elections Canada officials themselves who perhaps need investigating? I believe that the elections commissioner should not be under the wing of the government. However, in those particular cases, a special investigative unit should exist to help investigate those cases and clear the air, as Mr. Manning said.
These sorts of situations are untenable if they're allowed to continue for years, and there have to be timelines within which these investigations take place.
