We oppose it, at least insofar as it's provided to political parties.
There may be good reason for Elections Canada to collect that information for its own internal purpose and to keep it carefully safeguarded and to ensure that it is used for no other purpose.

It runs completely contrary to data protection law principles and fair information practices accepted worldwide.
