Electoral Reform committee  Mr. Chair, I ran for public office five times against your party. That said, I ran against Mr. DeCourcey's boss right here in Fredericton in the election for the 39th Parliament. I was not aware of this committee meeting in Fredericton today until I heard Mr. DeCourcey speaking

Electoral Reform committee  According to Mr. Lynch, because of the failure of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords, he was in a quandary as to whether the charter was in effect. I know that the Supreme Court argues it on a daily basis. That charter, created by Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Chrétien, his attorney

Electoral Reform committee  That said, that's been argued in court. In 2000, Mr. Chrétien came out with a law that said I couldn't vote. Right? He also took away my social insurance number.

Electoral Reform committee  No, he did.

Electoral Reform committee  I did prove, after I argued with Elections Canada's lawyers in 2004.... You might have taken away my right to vote, but you can't stop me from running for public office, and I proved it five times.

Electoral Reform committee  Very experienced.

Electoral Reform committee  In Mr. Trudeau's words, he has to come up with a plan and no more first past the post. My suggestion to you, in my contact today, is to cut and paste Iceland's rules.

Electoral Reform committee  It's just what you need, just what Mr. Trudeau is ordering now. It's proportional elections.

Electoral Reform committee  I tweeted you the beginner's book for Iceland.

Electoral Reform committee  I have two other points, because I don't think you can pull this off. I don't think it will happen.

Electoral Reform committee  Here is my suggestion. You guys are going north.

Electoral Reform committee  Look how parliamentarians are elected in the Northwest Territories. There is no party, and I like that.

Electoral Reform committee  I have one more suggestion.

Electoral Reform committee  Mr. Harper changed the Canada Elections Act and I still couldn't vote.

Electoral Reform committee  Anyway, that said, when you alter the Canada Elections Act, make it.... The biggest problem we have is, look at the vast majority of people who, like me, have never voted in their life. Apathy rules the day.
