From the Tyee:
'Mr. Speaker, the crisis in Canadian democracy is not that Canadians are voting
more than once but that they are voting less than once. And this bill will...

'And:I think it undermines political resonsibility and civic understanding to
refer to voters as customers. There is something fundamentally wrong with an
elections act that talks about customer service when we're talking about
voting. It's a right. It's not shopping. And every Canadian must be allowed to
vote.For the full transcript of the speech, go here.'
