Thank you for the question.
Bill C-65 does a few things for residents in long-term care. One of them is the removal of an obstacle for many residents in care who don't have their proof of residence with them. This requirement will be removed for residents in long-term care. This proof often resides with their families at home, and they don't receive bills at long-term care residences. That will help to facilitate. They do need ID, of course.
There will be polling stations set up in LTC homes. Elections Canada estimates that up to 7,000 electors will be served by these polling stations. They will be set up for each facility for the days and times that work for them over a 12-hour period. That might be for one day, for 12 hours, that best suits an LTC. It might be over two days of six hours each. Elections Canada will have a lot of flexibility to serve those electors.
To your first point about moving from room to room, there's an existing measure under the act: the use of mobile polls. In LTC facilities, those polls also will be available in certain facilities, so that they can move from room to room to help electors and residents in those homes to vote.
