I'll try to make it interesting, something like that old joke about Liz Taylor and the seventh husband, but anyway....
This is a very important amendment, because section 18 of the existing act is important. Bill C-23 would eliminate the positive proactive measures the Chief Electoral Officer takes to assist in educating particularly those groups that might not be sufficiently familiar with this. We've certainly seen members in Parliament point out the various easy ways that they know how to vote, but we know there are disadvantaged groups in society who often don't have easy access to that information.
I strongly urge my friends on the Conservative side of the committee to consider the benefits of leaving section 18 of the act as it is, leaving it alone, by accepting this amendment.
