translate English to French: The proponent was required to collect more than 17 048 valid signatures. Rather than organize a door-to-door canvass for signatures, the proponent relied on people to drop in at one of a few sign-up locations in the district.
Tenu de recueillir plus de 17 048 signatures valides, le proposant n'organise pas de sollicitation de signatures porte-à-porte; il se contente d'espérer que les gens passeront signer la pétition aux rares bureaux établis pour cela dans la circonscription.
