Mr. Speaker, my question is on the very same line of thought that the hon. member for Vancouver Quadra was developing.
The member and I were both in the committee when a provision was put into the proposed text of the bill. It was an attempt to deal with the construction of the voters list and the way in which people get left off the voters list. The provision recognized that homeless people actually do have a roof over their heads at certain times when they are at a homeless shelter and that people at homeless shelters are capable of vouching for other individuals. I specifically asked the Chief Electoral Officer for information that would allow us to go and put this provision into the bill.
I want to read this for the member for Vancouver Quadra and ask him if he thinks this deals with the kind of issue he was talking about.
It says that the following people can vouch for a person to get him or her onto the list:
--the elector, or another elector who lives at the same residence as the elector, at their residence and in the presence of the revising agents completes the prescribed registration form and takes the prescribed oath.
Does the member believe that this largely deals with the problem of homeless people not getting on the list that the member for Vancouver East was raising?
