It is critically important that everybody who wants their voice heard in an election have that opportunity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"769448\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, it is also critically important that the results of an election, the results in all 308 ridings, are beyond question, that they are above any sort of suspicion that there may be a problem in the voting system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"769449\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is right for members of Parliament to look at the system from time to time to ensure the integrity of the system is beyond reproach.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"769450\" data-originallang=\"en\">Does the member feel that the previous system was perfect or is it right for Parliament, from time to time, to look at the system and ensure the integrity is there and that the results of an election in any riding cannot be questioned?</p>",
