Mr. Speaker, what pleases me is that when Canada elected a new Prime Minister less than a year ago, the Prime Minister made the issue a priority. It has taken us not years but months to bring the legislation before the House, and not only the legislation but also a tangible idea that would actually deal with the issue.
I believe that by having voters able to nominate only one candidate in a particular riding, and by ensuring that we could not have one official agent for 100 candidates in the same riding, the issue with the long ballots would be resolved. I anticipate that the opposition will support that aspect of the legislation.
