It is not true, Mr. Speaker, that Elections Canada's commissioner has the power to compel the production of documents and compel the testimony of witnesses to a commissioner. The minister knows that is false. Let me ask him another question.
The minister is now saying that he is showing openness because he will allow Elections Canada to advertise and direct it at elementary school students and high school students. It is always good to inform people about their civic obligations, but unfortunately elementary school students and high school students do not vote because they are not of age.
Why will the minister not allow advertising by Elections Canada to encourage people to vote?
