	Canada Elections Act
		"election period" means the period beginning with the issue of the writ and ending on polling day or, where the writ is withdrawn under subsection 59(1) or is deemed to be withdrawn under section 551, on the day that the writ is withdrawn or deemed to be withdrawn.
		(3) For the purposes of this Act, satisfactory proof of an elector's identity and satisfactory proof of residence are established by the documentary proof of the elector's identity and residence that is prescribed by the Chief Electoral Officer.

	Bill C-2: A Critique
		Elections Canada says that C-2 will improve the disclosure of election finance information, and to a large extent this is true: the bill will require the publication of addresses of contributors and information about federal parties' trust funds, for instance.
		Three major features of successfully transparent election finance reporting systems in other jurisdictions are missing from both the Canada Elections Act and Bill C-2: prompt reporting by parties, reporting of donations from all points where they are received and prompt publication in electronic format by government.
		Elections Canada, supported by a strengthened Canada Elections Act, should be able to at least match the standard of transparency set by the FEC.

		Elections Canada will continue to gather this information during the last enumeration, which I will be discussing, and during both the annual updating process and during the revision period of an election.
		Elections Canada, and again I outlined this in an earlier stage of debate, would continue to work with Revenue Canada and Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
		Once the writs are issued for an election there will also be a more streamlined revision process during the electoral period to ensure that all Canadians have the opportunity to have their names on the voting lists and to be able to vote.

		I do not think that for a member of the Senate or the Parliament of Canada to contribute to the party under the label of which he or she sits in a legislature puts that senator or M.P. in any way or form in a privileged position.
		No one in Canada would believe that, in order to be involved in public activities, you must refrain from contributing to a party.
