Procedure and House Affairs committee  I do think that students felt particularly mobilized in the last election. I do think that our advocacy work had a big part in that, but also students just identified a number of issues on which they wanted to see political action, and made that known. We definitely did redouble our efforts to ensure that students were heading to the polls, and we'll be doing that again in 2019.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It's from housing or residence—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  There could be some examples, but not generally speaking.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's right.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's the issue, yes. If students have those pieces of ID at all, they would be very inconsistent. They're not going to have utility bills in the same way. They might have a phone bill but it's quite unlikely that that's going to be addressed to their temporary residence in housing.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  To my understanding, it is. I would confer with our lawyers in that event. However, our concern with the court case, unfortunately again, is more one of timing. We're fairly concerned that by the time this legislation would be implemented, it might not be fully implemented by Elections Canada for the next election, whereas a court ruling—unfortunately, because it's not the route we'd want to go down—might push that deadline up, and at this point, we just want more students and more people, generally, to have access to the vote.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That is our understanding, yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Do you mean pertaining to elections specifically?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, there are a few different things. One major thing is the proportion of students who live in on-campus residences. Proving one's address can be a bit trickier for students living on campus, we've found when we've spoken to those students, given the frequency with which they will move on and off campus.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I believe that was primarily spent on social media advertising—YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc.—around information on how to vote and the issues that students felt it was important to consider in this election. It was primarily that, but it was also materials, such as printing. We did a lot of on-the-ground outreach with our members on campus.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  It's the latter. Again, I believe we sent out a survey to all parties to provide their responses to questions on the student issues we had identified as being important to our members. Then we did publish those responses, I believe verbatim, on our website, with a link to them on the print materials and the social media materials.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  They are part-time and full-time college and university students from across the country. There are about 650,000 of them in member locals. Student unions are certified as members with the CFS through a referendum process. Student dues vary slightly from province to province, based on CPI increases and things like that, but it's approximately $16 per year per student.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That was our previous executive director, Toby Whitfield, but we still maintain that position, of course. Primarily, we felt that the changes made through the act would influence already marginalized populations, and there was research to bear this out in terms of, for example, homeless populations and populations that move frequently, students being one of them.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We don't have hard data on that on our end, obviously, although I do think the statistics Coty cited from the Chief Electoral Officer's report after the election are useful. We could extrapolate from those youth voter figures the degree to which post-secondary students of that group factored in.
