Mr. Speaker, Elections Canada has the right to author recommendations. It does not have the right to author the law. Laws are made by democratically elected legislatures like this one.
Obviously, at the end of the day, I have been long aware of the CEO's positions on all of these issues. I just happen to disagree with them.
I brought forward a fair elections act founded on common sense, which would require people to bring ID when they vote, which would require those who make mass calls to register them so they are compliant with the law, and which would render the investigator of elections law independent.
These are common sense and reasonable changes. We are proud to move forward with them.
