Statements

COMMITTEE MOTION 76-17(5): VOUCHING OPPORTUNITIES INCREASED, CARRIED

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that the Elections and Plebiscites Act be amended to increase the number of times an elector may vouch for another elector from one to five. This is in recognition in some of our communities where more than 50 percent of the residents eligible to vote do not have government issued identification.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I have a motion on the floor. It is not debatable. The motion is carried.
