Thanks, Mr. Chair. We had this issue raised with us by a member of the public, Mr. Wasylciw, and he said that it may be more convenient if someone's travelling away from their home within the Northwest Territories on polling day, where they could go in and cast their vote in any poll, not just where they necessarily live. Certainly, I know from personal experience, one of the federal, last federal elections, I cast a vote in Winnipeg, I was visiting our daughter, for candidates in the Northwest Territories. It's something that is done at the federal level. We also recognize that this might present some problems in terms of making sure that the ballots are counted correctly and quickly on polling day. If there are citizens from a bunch of different constituencies, and they all vote in maybe Yellowknife or other places, trying to collate that and bringing it all together might make it more of a challenge to deal with getting the voting results quickly on election day.

In any event, what this does is ask the Chief Electoral Officer to look at how this is done in some other jurisdictions in Canada, see what lessons we could learn from that, and whether it's something that we may be able to do here. That's what the gist of this is really about, is to get her to go out and do some work and give us her best advice on whether we should do it and what kind of terms and conditions. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
