Obviously my concern is that the “fairness” that is being reintroduced is too stringent in terms of its requirements. What I proposed to you are ways of meeting those objectives but simplifying the process. So I agree, yes okay, let us require people to register every time, but why do they have to produce a piece of ID that no longer exists in their pockets? Why not use what we already have on file, if that's what they're saying is their last residence? You want only the last residence? You have it on the register of electors. That's what I'm saying.
I'm not disagreeing with the objectives of the statute necessarily. I'm disagreeing or saying that there are ways of making it simpler and more acceptable to Canadians. It is not easy to vote from abroad; you have to register.
