Mr. Speaker, I would like to table e-petition 6579. It is a non-partisan petition.
This petition is in regard to the longest ballot, which I strongly feel disrupts the democratic process. It disrupts the election process for some Canadians, like seniors, the elderly and people who speak English as a second language. It confuses the process. We have to make a streamlined process that allows all Canadians to find the simplest path forward to vote for whoever they want to vote for. The longest ballot weaponizes democracy.
I present this petition to clean that up because I think people on both sides of the aisle have had enough.
