Dr. Woo, you've approached this from the perspective of somebody who has voted in a number of elections from abroad and you can put yourself more easily in the shoes of people voting from abroad. You've told us of the delay factors.
You may or may not have all the needed identity to easily vote. You might have a driver's licence that shows the address. If you don't maybe you have easy access to people living back in your riding who will vouch for you to say you used to live there. I'm not sure what the factors are.
I have two sets of concerns about the vouching requirements in the bill. If you can't show your address, because a passport does not show one's address.... In your own hand you can scrawl it in but it cannot be used to prove address, unlike what we were just told earlier. You have a passport but you have nothing showing your previous address so you have to go and get somebody to vouch for your previous address.
Would you consider either of these to be barriers? One is where you have a family of four, all of whom are over 18 and therefore are Canadians who can vote, and you only know two people in the previous riding where you lived—maybe your two parents, for example. That means, according to this bill, only two of your four family members can be vouched for easily. Would you consider that to be a possible scenario, and if so, a problem?
