Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech.
However, I did not hear him mention that the government held consultations on drafting such a bill.
I have a very direct question for him: who was consulted? Was Elections Canada consulted by the minister responsible when the bill was being drafted? What was their response? What information did the government obtain and receive and what other consultations were held to draft this bill? What facts and figures did it obtain? In short, what consultations were held, specifically with Elections Canada?
