Among youth, between 1984 and 2000 it dropped by 20 percentage points. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3564588\" data-originallang=\"en\">When we look at Elections Canada's own data, the principle reasons why Canadians do not vote are practical ones. They either do not have time or they are out of town, and many of them do not know of the many different opportunities they have to cast a ballot before elections day.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3564589\" data-originallang=\"en\">The fair elections act would require Elections Canada to give this basic information to voters so they have an opportunity to cast their ballots.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3564586\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis, en fait, le seul \u00e0 avoir pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 des donn\u00e9es sur la question.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3564587\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai notamment d\u00e9montr\u00e9 que, depuis qu'\u00c9lections Canada a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 mener des campagnes de sensibilisation, le taux de participation a chut\u00e9 d'environ 15 points de pourcentage. Chez les jeunes, il est descendu de 20 points de pourcentage de 1984 \u00e0 2000.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3564588\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand on regarde les propres donn\u00e9es d'\u00c9lections Canada, on voit que c'est d'abord et avant tout pour des consid\u00e9rations pratiques que les Canadiens ne vont pas voter, par exemple parce qu'ils n'ont pas le temps, ou parce qu'ils sont \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur de la ville, et bon nombre des \u00e9lecteurs qui ne vont pas voter ne connaissent pas les nombreuses options qui leur permettraient de se pr\u00e9valoir de leur droit de vote avant la journ\u00e9e du scrutin. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3564589\" data-originallang=\"en\">La Loi sur l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 des \u00e9lections obligerait \u00c9lections Canada \u00e0 fournir aux \u00e9lecteurs toute l'information dont ils ont besoin pour exercer leur droit de vote.</p>"
