I think that if we were to open to the possibility of voting electronically, it would be very difficult to make an argument that this would apply only to some voters and that it would apply only to voters living abroad, because lots of people would love to be able to vote electronically.
Personally, I would love to see a movement in that direction. I think it would do a whole lot of good to break down barriers for people with physical disabilities, people who are living in remote communities, and people who actually do have to go through quite significant expenditures to be able to get to their polling station and vote, even though they live in Canada.
Therefore, I'm in favour of giving more thought to electronic voting. I don't think we would be able to restrict it to people living abroad, and I don't think we should, either.
