Yes, it's very similar. Our minimum number is actually three, but I think that's just a matter of semantics more than anything.
What we have tried to do with our e-petition system is to have the procedure unchanged from a written petition. It's exactly the same process, only a different way of doing it. We do not have a system similar to what's being proposed in the House of Commons, where if there's a certain threshold of signatures, then a different process takes place. The process that takes place is the same regardless of the number, so long as that number is greater than three.
Typically what happens is that the petition is tabled. It's referred to a particular ministry, and the minister then responds to the petition within 60 days. That response is then tabled in the House.
However, any member, as I mentioned earlier, can give notice and have a debate on a particular petition by way of a motion, either in the standing committee or later in the regular orders of the day for the House.
