Yes, ma'am. As mentioned, all eligible CAF electors are permitted to vote, but as the committee may or may not be aware, we can enrol individuals within the Canadian Armed Forces prior to them turning 18. More recently, over the last year and a half, we have allowed for the enrolment of permanent residents within the Canadian Armed Forces. Of course, those two groups of individuals are not permitted to vote.
The CAF elector list, when it's provided to Elections Canada, basically would not include individuals who have permanent resident status or who are under 18 years of age. If individuals from one of those two groups tried to approach a CAF polling station, their names wouldn't be on the list. Of course, if individuals are not on the list, as with a regular civilian polling station, they are permitted to register at that time. When that vote is counted by Elections Canada, it would be picked up then.
Because it is early stages and we have only just started this, we had a very small number of permanent residents in the CAF when the general election was called. I think it was about 130. We expect in the next election to have a much larger number. Processes will be put in place to request verification by CAF members that they hold Canadian citizenship and that they are not a permanent resident, which would allow them to vote.
