Mr. Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's question, but I think he must have missed the first part of my speech. I talked about how this is part of the measures in Bill C-25. It is one of the issues we have been addressing after bringing this to committee. We did a study on the long ballots. We had witnesses, particularly those who participated in long ballots. We understand that Canadians want to express their views on how our electoral system should go, but we also understand there are rules around that.
We are putting in new measures to ensure that long ballots can no longer continue. An official agent, for example, can sign up only one person at a time. We are also increasing the numbers of signatories that they need in order to submit a candidate.
We want to make sure that candidates who are on a ballot actually have a genuine intention to present the views of Canadians as a member of Parliament.
