Context: House Hansard - 104 - Sep/28/22
Mr. Taylor Bachrach (Skeena—Bulkley Valley, NDP)
Mr. Speaker, the decisions being made right now on issues like the climate crisis and housing affordability have a tremendous bearing on the lives of young people and they deserve a say. In 2005, the current government House leader rose in this place and said, “I think that reducing the voting age to 16 represents an incredible opportunity.” I agree, and he is in luck because in a few minutes he has a chance to vote yes and send Bill C-210, the right to vote at 16 act, off to committee. Will he and will his government support this important bill?
