Mr. Speaker,
I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Nunakput, that Bill 27, An Act to Amend the Elections Act, No. 2, be read for the second time.
Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Elections Act to provide that persons who became Canadian citizens on or before polling day may vote at the election.
In addition, the bill also corrects two provisions that contain references that no longer pertain in view of earlier amendments to the act. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
