Debates

  1. Chris Bittle (St. Catharines, Lib.)

    Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the 31st report of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, entitled “Challenges Regarding Special Ballot Voting”.

    Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.

  2. Michael Cooper (St. Albert—Sturgeon River, CPC)

    Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a supplementary report on behalf of the Conservative members of the committee.

    The Conservatives would have liked to see additional recommendations with a view toward strengthening the integrity of our elections, including an amendment to the Canada Elections Act to require electors residing abroad to provide proof of their last place of residence prior to the issuance of a ballot. Currently, there is no requirement of proof of residence. Additionally, the Conservatives oppose the recommendation for earlier candidate nomination deadlines, which was not supported by evidence. We also caution against the use of hybrid ballot delivery systems, including using Canadian diplomatic missions as polling stations, out of concern for ballot integrity and ballot secrecy.

  3. Lisa Hepfner (Hamilton Mountain, Lib.)

    Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the eighth report of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, entitled “The Effects of Influencers and Social Media Content on Children and Adolescents”.

    Pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee requests that the government table a comprehensive response to this report.

    While I have the floor, I move:

    That the House do now proceed to orders of the day.

    If a member participating in person wishes that the motion be carried or carried on division, or if a member of a recognized party participating in person wishes to request a recorded division, I would invite them to rise and indicate it to the Chair.

    Mr. Speaker, we request a recorded vote, please.
