Procedure and House Affairs committee  I wouldn't say that we'd go to that level of detail, but I would certainly say that we have a requirement to monitor where the House of Commons devices are used. We monitor from a regional perspective. I wouldn't say that we get down to that level of granularity.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We don't track, sir, where you were. We can just track the location of where you are as per the device. We don't archive all the locations of where you are. We track to make sure that the devices that are participating in these events are within the guidelines that we've set for

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We could identify where you are. I wouldn't commit to saying that you are in that particular office, because we don't do that as per our security practices, but we certainly ensure that you are in a specific area or region.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It is our goal to provide an approach to the Speaker to ensure that this happens.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The first criteria that we've all been discussing is the security aspect. We want to make sure that, if we go forward with an electronic voting system, it is a secure system and we can validate that the results that are coming out of the system are the results based on the votes

Procedure and House Affairs committee  More specifically, Ms. Duncan, we want to make sure that all these steps are logged, so when we notify someone, we'd log that someone did receive the message. Then when the person reads the message, the notification of votes, we would be aware that he received the notification.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We are currently in the buying process, to ensure that when we return in September, we can offer a capacity similar to our pre-COVID capacity, unless the environment changes from now to then for the worst. Our goal is to put in place the proper resourcing model to support you wit

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We're looking at that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I would say my main concern is to ensure that no one is interfering with the voting process.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I am always of the premise that the members are honourable and will follow the regulations.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Blaney, over the last few weeks we have reassessed every constituency office to ensure that there is appropriate connectivity. As I commented at a previous meeting, it was true that we had two specific members in northern areas of Canada for whom this was posing a problem,

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It will certainly take some time to make sure that doesn't happen. The report recommends a better way of proceeding, whether all members vote electronically or they all vote manually. If the members decide to put the hybrid model forward, we will put in place controls to ensure

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We can assume that this is, indeed, the case.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  You aren't mistaken. It's indeed one of the controls that will have to be put in place to ensure that no one votes twice.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, the newer devices do. There are still some members who have older devices, but all the newer devices that are being provided to the members of Parliament have built-in biometrics. That could be leveraged as part of our solution, if it were chosen by the committee.
