| Message | On this point we can't agree. While we agree that while criminals are in prison do not deserve the voting right, the moment they have "paid their debt to society" they are again citizen and should deserve to keep their right. Jacob MacIsaac NCP Justice Critic |

| Message | However this will deter a large portion of reoffenders voting and deciding our nations future. Reoffenders are statistically likely to reoffend sooner rather than later, thus we believe a small period of time after release of not being allowed to vote is necessary. |
