Mr. Speaker, I think it was fairly clear when I described the issue of nomination papers and the fact that electors can only sign once. The Bloc produced a supplementary report on this topic and tabled it at the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs when we were looking into the longest ballot committee.
It is reasonable to expect that we will be proposing amendments about this as well. We shall see to what extent our colleagues will listen to us, even though they seem firmly committed to the idea of limiting the number of signatures. Perhaps we will hear from different witnesses who will shed further light on the matter.
In addition, as I mentioned earlier, we would have liked to see the issue of public funding of parties in the bill. Will we be able to table amendments on this subject? They would likely be considered to be beyond the scope of the bill, which is unfortunate. The government had a great opportunity to get the job done, but that does not mean the Bloc Québécois will give up on this issue.
