moved for leave to introduce Bill C-343, an act to provide for the holding of citizen initiated referenda on specific questions.
Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to be rising today to present this bill. It is 25 pages in length and was worked on by more than a dozen people over a two-year period. It is a workable initiative and referendum legislation that is based on working legislation in a similar parliamentary democracy. It includes new methods of voting such as electronic voting. It is very detailed and I urge all members to read it.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
