I wanted to add to Mr. Cullen's comments. I believe that in many cases there is no intent of fraud, but the reality is that new residents are receiving these cards allowing them to believe that they have the privilege to vote in the election, when in fact they do not. Regardless of whether or not there is fraudulent intention, these individuals are receiving these cards that give them what I think is the fair understanding that they have the right to vote, which is not the case. However, in signing them up on the voter registry, we are presenting them with the opportunity to do that.
While I don't necessarily believe that it is with fraudulent intentions, I do believe that it is happening nonetheless, as a result of these cards being distributed by Elections Canada, with the unintended consequence of these new Canadians, new residents to Canada, completing them and submitting them with the opportunity to vote as a result.
Thank you.
