Mr. Chair, my two amendments to Bill C-23 I think logically have to be considered together. IND-2 is on page 86 of the package and IND-1 is on page 1.
Simply, what I am attempting to do is, based on the evidence provided to this committee by Mr. Casey regarding the unlevel playing field between independent candidates and those associated with political parties, it proposes to change the amendment of what is a candidate by adding a new candidate definition in proposed subsection 67(7), which would be my second amendment on page 86. It would allow an individual not affiliated with a political party to apply outside of a writ period directly to the Chief Electoral Officer with the same requisite documents that a candidate would apply during a writ period, that is, $1,000, 100 nominators, and an official agent, and therefore could be declared a candidate outside of a writ period by a Chief Electoral Officer, thereby allowing all the rights and privileges of a candidate, including raising money and issuing tax receipts.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.

No, the amendments have to be read together. Combined they would, if passed, level the playing field between independent candidates and those related to political parties.

Currently under the Canada Elections Act only candidates, political parties, or electoral district associations can raise money outside of a writ period and issue tax credit receipts. My amendments attempt to amend the definition of a candidate to allow an individual who's not affiliated with an official party to apply outside of a writ period, or practically before an election writ is filed, and become a candidate, provided he complies with all the requirements that a candidate would have to comply with during a writ period and be declared a candidate directly by the Chief Electoral Officer, therefore assuming all the rights and privileges, including raising money and issuing tax receipts.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the committee for that indulgence.
Mr. Casey, first let me say how much I appreciate your advocacy on behalf of independent candidates. I listened with interest about the two sets of rules between party-affiliated candidates and independents, and I couldn't agree more.
In 2006, you were elected as a Conservative candidate in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and in 2008 you were re-elected as an independent. It’s conceivable, based on these differential rules, that the Conservative candidate who campaigned against you in 2008 was able to rely on a surplus you might have left him following the 2006 election.
Is that fair to say?

You can appreciate that in 2015 I face the same dilemma where there'll be a Conservative candidate who will be running to unseat me with money that I raised in 2011.
Mr. Bill Casey: I'm familiar with that.
Mr. Brent Rathgeber: Based on your inquiries or your research, have you been able to determine any rational explanation for why Elections Canada and the current legislation prohibits non-affiliated candidates from raising money and/or issuing receipts between writ periods?

You may be aware that in 2003 the Supreme Court ruled that the section 3 charter-protected right to vote extends to more than just the right to cast a ballot. The court indicated that a voter must have an opportunity to balance various ideas in his or her own mind before meaningfully participating in an election process.
In your mind—and I realize you're not a lawyer, Mr. Casey—does the prohibition and the clear handicapping of independent candidates promote fair elections? Or in your non-lawyer view, would that be a violation of the right to meaningful participation in an election?

Thank you, Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for your very interesting testimony.
I find the whole issue quite confusing.
My first question is for Commissioner Haggard. You indicated that in your view—and I agree with your view—that it's not the role of the committee to draw lines on a map. I think we all agree that lines on a map, in a perfect world, would be negotiated and there would be some sort of consensus.
But we live in the real world, and in the absence of consensus, in either your view or in the view of the commission, whose role is it to draw the arbitrary lines?

In this specific issue with respect to overlapping lands, I understand there was a mediation process in place, and the mediator at one point walked away because it was hopeless, in his view; the parties were too far apart.
We all agree that consensus is the most desired outcome, but in the real world, where that can't always be accommodated, who, in your view, should be charged with drawing arbitrary lines in a situation when a meeting of the minds is just simply impractical?

Does the creation of that mechanism fall under the mandate of the BC Treaty Commission, or, in your view, does it fall—or ought to fall—under the authority of some other governing body?

Thank you.
Chief Commissioner Pierre, we heard in the first hour that the Stó:lo community believes that Yale is actually a subset of the larger Stó:lo community. In fact, the words the Grand Chief used were that it is a small portion of a large family. Does the BC Treaty Commission accept that proposition?

I accept that it's not your mandate to determine what is included in a first nation, but do you know, anecdotally or otherwise, if there's support through judicial decisions or through other...? Is there support for the proposition that Yale is a subset of Stó:lo in any other mechanism or judicial authority that you know of? Is that contention supportable?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for your interesting perspectives.
I want to zero in on the issue of liability. To the chiefs and grand chiefs who were concerned about the downloading of liability from federal or provincial authorities to first nations, I'm curious if you're familiar with clause 11 of the bill, specifically subclause 11(3).
Do you agree with my interpretation that those provisions do not download responsibility to first nations, but rather they put limited liabilities on all parties who act under the regulations, including first nations? Can anybody answer that?

Subclause 11(3) talks about acts and omissions for the federal minister or employees. Subclause 11(2) talks about liability for provincial officials, and subclause 11(3) talks about acts and omissions for either persons or bodies. When I read that, it would seem to include first nations who are acting pursuant to the regulations created under Bill S-8.
I know we'll be talking to lawyers in the next hour, and perhaps we'll get their perspective, but from the perspective of the chiefs and grand chiefs, does anyone have any comment on that interpretation of clause 11 of the act?

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you so much for your interesting presentation.
I do have some questions because I require some clarification. You indicated, Mayor Daykin, that there are 52,000 aboriginals living in Metro Vancouver. Do you know how many of those individuals live on what are known as urban reserves?
