(a) reconsidering clause 350, in light of the British Columbia Supreme Court ruling of February 9, 2000, that struck down gag law provisions in the British Columbia Elections Act, and prior similar rulings of the Alberta Court of Appeal, with due regard for the constitutional right of Canadian citizens to free expression;

(b) reconsidering clause 370, in light of an Ontario court ruling that struck down provisions requiring political parties to endorse a minimum number of candidates in a general election in order for the party to be registered, with due regard for the right of small, regional and nascent political parties not to be disadvantaged such as by having their names excluded from the ballot;

(c) reconsidering clauses 324 to 328, in light of the British Columbia Supreme Court ruling of February 9, 2000, that struck down provisions in the British Columbia Elections Act imposing a blackout on the publication of poll results and requirements for the publication of methodological information, with due regard for the constitutional right of Canadians to free expression;

(d) reconsidering clause 13, with due regard for the democratic principle that the Chief Electoral Officer should be selected in a non-partisan and democratic fashion, rather than being unilaterally and arbitrarily appointed by the government of the day;

(e) reconsidering clause 24, with due regard for the entreaties of the Chief Electoral Officer that he be allowed to hire Returning Officers according to merit as determined through competitions open to all qualified Canadians, to insulate the appointment process from partisanship;

(f) reconsidering clause 26, with due regard for the principle that the electoral system and all of its agents constitute the very foundation of the democratic process in Canada, and as such the appointment of Assistant Returning Officers should be free of real or perceived political bias;

(g) reconsidering clause 34, with due regard for the importance of insulating the process for appointing deputy returning officers from patronage, nepotism and partisanship;

(h) reconsidering clause 35, with due regard for the principle that poll clerks should be hired impartially on the basis of merit rather than being appointed by the government of the day according to political affiliation;

(i) reconsidering clause 57, with due regard for the danger that the timing of general elections could be manipulated for reasons of political opportunism by the government of the day;

(j) reconsidering clause 59, with due regard for the right of Canadian citizens who are afflicted by natural or man-made disaster to have full and fair opportunity to participate in the electoral process;

(k) reconsidering clause 67, with due regard for the constitutional right of all Canadians, regardless of wealth, to be qualified for membership in this House; and
