Mr. Speaker, the person who assumed your chair did do a fine job and I had an opportunity to speak during that time.
One point that was raised during that segment of our debate today was around the Trinity—Spadina vote. I think it is worthy of reading one line that came out of that:
The findings of the audit indicate that election day registration was properly administered during the 2006 federal election in Trinity—Spadina.
There is much more but I will not read it all. I only alluded to that because it had been raised by the member. One of the concerns I have is that voter identification needs to be there to the benefit of the public. The speaker across was talking a fair length about the benefits to the party system if the date of birth is there. I do not think that is where we should be going with this. I understand that it would be to the advantage of parties but we need to be sure we are protecting the public interest.
