The issue of electronic voting was addressed during the discussions that led to the 2009 reform, but not in depth or very seriously.
There are two aspects to that.
First, we asked ourselves how we could ensure the validity of votes, from a legal standpoint, if parliamentarians voted from their various ridings rather than in Parliament itself. How can this be organized? How can we ensure the integrity of the process? That's an issue. I am not saying that it's impossible. I'm just telling you that it is an issue.
Then, it must be said that many parliamentarians feel a certain pride to be present in the House during the recorded votes, to rise before all their colleagues to vote in favour or against a motion.
However, the issue of electronic voting has not been studied in depth. The discussions about reforming it were not very extensive.
