The fact that there aren't fixed election dates has indeed been brought up regularly, as has the issue of the reliability of our postal system. On that matter, witnesses from other countries have said that there were a number of ways to vote. A few were listed earlier. There's proxy voting and electronic voting, for example. There's also a hybrid method whereby a person can receive their ballot by email, print it out at home, write the name of the person they're voting for and return the ballot by mail.
I have worked a lot with people who were no longer able to take care of their own affairs, so I have a question from that perspective. Say I live in France with my mother, who is no longer all there. I ask for a ballot for her. I write down the name I want and return it. I wonder how the government would go about ensuring that a person abroad is still of sound mind to vote, especially since the Elections Act no longer stipulates that someone unfit can't be represented.
