Mr. Speaker, the minister will not listen to Canadians at public hearings, but will he listen to the hundreds of political science and law professors warning that the bill would make it more difficult to vote?
Will he listen to the Chief Electoral Officer who said that, under the bill, “...Canadians will be denied the right to vote”.
Will he listen to the Ottawa Citizen that said the bill radically restricts the role of Elections Canada or The Globe and Mail that said, quite simply, the bill deserves to die?
The bill is not about improving democracy, is it? It is really about improving the Conservatives' chances in the next election.
