Okay. If you would commit to bringing that back to the committee, I think that would be very interesting, because we've heard from lots of individuals who think this is the way Canada should be going, and it would be ludicrous, in my opinion, for us to create a system where we don't support other countries within our borders in doing the same thing we're hoping to have them do for us. I'm just trying to understand what our foreign policy is. That would be very much appreciated.
In terms of confirmation of representation for Canadian citizens living abroad, I would like your position, if possible, on enabling voting in provincial elections. An expert not long ago said to this committee with respect to this study that it's only important for Canadians abroad to vote in national elections because identity is determined by the nation. That was the wording they used. I think my colleague from Quebec may feel quite differently about that, as well as individuals who are born in other provinces that have distinct identities within our Canadian framework.
I would like to understand why Global Affairs doesn't allow voting in provincial elections to be conducted for citizens living abroad and, if that's something that could be changed, what the impact of that might be on our foreign policy.
