I would like to see a code of practice. This was actually recommended by the Chief Electoral Officer in his report a few years ago. Compliance with that code of practice would be a condition for receiving the voters list.
It's an interim step. I don't think it is enough, because a third party, such as the Privacy Commissioner, would need to have the ability to investigate if there are complaints. However, I don't see why that couldn't be done initially. If I understand what Minister Scott Brison said publicly, the government is looking at that option, and I think it would be an interesting first step.
I would also emphasize what I said about British Columbia. I think there is going to be increasing pressure on political parties in B.C., because of our law, to comply with the legislation here. If that occurs, it only makes sense for political parties to comply with the same standards across the rest of the country. It shouldn't be difficult and it shouldn't be contentious, but I realize that this has been said about other issues.
