Mr. Speaker, my fellow MPs told me not to expect an adequate answer but I expected at least an attempt.
Canada's north has the youngest population in Canada. Young people often do not have ID when they turn 18. Under the current rules, aboriginal people, young people and our seniors were turned away at the polls at some of the highest rates. It is a myth that we do not want to vote. We are simply being barred for not having the right kind of ID.
Could the minister explain what steps he will take to fix this problem?
