Mr. Speaker, we in the Conservative government do not believe that Canadians necessarily have to bring photo identification or even government-issued identification. There are 39 different options that Canadians can use to present to Elections Canada officials as proof of who they are and where they live. Those things include everything from an Indian status card to correspondence from an aboriginal band. If one is a student, one can get a letter from student housing or bring a student card.
I could go on, but unfortunately there is not enough time to list all the options that are available to Canadians.
