Thank you very much.
As a person who has never, ever, in my entire life in Canada been able to vote independently and in secret, I would really appreciate having the options of telephone voting, online voting or any other option that doesn't require my going into a polling station and having to either take someone with me to confirm my ballot or having to tell some stranger at the polling station helping me.
I know that the folks who are there take an oath. I've said before that an oath is fantastic, but it's only a word. As I mentioned to Elections Canada when we talked about the oath, my husband gave me a vow a long time ago, and he's now my ex-husband, so that tells you—with the divorce rate in Canada—how much an oath means sometimes.
I would really like to see those alternative measures in place, using technology to give us the ability to do it independently. If the legislation is opened up, I would be eternally grateful to feel independent in this process for the first time in my life.
