Perrault noted that many candidates in recent byelections had their nomination papers signed by the same electors, indicating that signers support the idea of numerous candidates rather than specific individuals.
The proposed Bill C-65 aims to reduce the number of required signatures from 100 to 75 for a candidate to run, a move Perrault supports for encouraging participation.
Perrault mentioned that 'certain penalties' should be considered for individuals who sign multiple nomination papers, although he did not specify what these penalties could entail.
The Longest Ballot Committee advocates for reforms, arguing that existing political parties are hesitant to make electoral processes more representative of the electorate.
