Procedure and House Affairs committee  My flow-through is 250 a year. I've been teaching for 30 years, so you can do the math.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Can I, very quickly, respond to that? The key point, the answer to your question.... You're quite right. It's education and disclosure. It's on the syllabus. It's in the calendar. It's drilled into every student's head. I send an email around the week before the exam, and in

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Precisely.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, really. I'm getting older. I can't remember 50 students and all their names.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It's a sea of faces.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I've proctored every exam for 30 years—I don't outsource my exams—and I've had exactly two students who did not have ID, and in both instances they had forgotten their ID. I don't know how they did it. They said they were driving home, which meant that they left their driver's li

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, and I'll tell you why I'm very much of that view. We—not the royal we but all of us Canadians—have become inured to the idea of identification. Look at the boarding of a plane. Everyone of us has to flash the ID three times—not once but three times. Every student knows that

Procedure and House Affairs committee  My response? You may or may not know that I'm a former banker from many, many years ago. I don't have any relationship with any banks, but I was 10 years in banking in my 20s and early 30s, and I worked in the building that you people expropriated, which is now the Sir John A.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I have come to that conclusion. Two years ago I didn't agree with that, but I've come to that conclusion because of what we've seen with the Russian hacking of electoral systems, and it's not just the Russians. It is undermining confidence in the integrity of the electoral system

Procedure and House Affairs committee  To answer your question, I don't like vouching. I use the health care system because I'm older, and older people use it. I use it a lot, because I have arthritis. I can assure you, I've been to my doctor and forgotten my OHIP card, and they refused me service. Surely the health o

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, if you're referring to the physical voter registration cards. My bias, and I will fully acknowledge it, is that I am purely in the digital world. In that respect I'm a young person—even though I'm not young. I'm purely digital, and I trust digital electronic data. I'm talk

Procedure and House Affairs committee  You have asked two questions.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I will answer them quickly. In terms of the first one, with the greatest respect, Mr. Simms, I think you're making that mistake. You're finding one system where 4% don't have coverage, therefore you're saying they have no ID whatsoever. That's simply not true because every citiz

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, I think it's a piece of cardboard that somebody's printed a name on. I can produce a voter ID card too.
