Kennedy, you mentioned that the threshold of 100,000 people would require signatures of 10 members of Parliament to then trigger perhaps a take-note debate. Right now on paper petitions only need 25 signatures are needed to require the government to make a response.

If a petition came in with less than 100,000 signatures which didn't trigger debate, have you given any consideration to a minimum threshold that would require a government response?
The reason I ask that is I assume that if we went to a system of e-petitioning, it would be far easier to gather signatures than it is currently.
Should the threshold be raised from 25, and if so, what do you think that threshold should be? Have you given that any thought?

Yes I have. I actually have consulted on this. I agree that 25 is too low in terms of having an e-petition online and requiring a government response. I was thinking more in the neighbourhood of 1,000 signatures. Again, that is a fairly high threshold. It's 20 or 40 times the current level. However, that is something that is probably overly conservative in the sense that it would probably reduce the number—

I don't mind if you think this is a Conservative idea. That's fine with me.
Again, that would limit the amount of work that would be placed on the departments that have to answer these, but it wouldn't stop this from being relevant.
The current paper-based petition system would continue to work as usual with the 25 and I see those as very localized. Somebody comes to your office and says they want a new bridge or something, and you get to 25 signatures and read it in the House. The electronic petitions would probably be national in scope, but it would be very good for dispersed groups.
I think of first nations or small businesses that are spread out across the country that don't have a chance sometimes to come together and bring their issues here, especially if they don't have the lobbying resources that other groups have. It makes a lot of sense to try to bring this in, especially in very large geographic areas. When you think of northern constituents trying to sign paper petitions, it would be quite difficult I think.
Again, this would facilitate the groups that may have been left out to be brought into the process.
