Speaking to Ryan's point about education, we still feel that the baseline to any good legislation is a good education that's being disseminated to the public. In addition to that, the education can obviously be supplemented by crafted legislation, which shouldn't be drafted in haste. We've seen examples in the past of what happens when legislation is drafted on a whim. It's just a nightmare for everyone. Legislation definitely should be treated as sacred and analyzed and carefully thought out before it actually comes into force.
As an example of legislation that could be expanded is what Parliament did with the Canada Elections Act, with section 480.1, which is what we were talking about earlier regarding impersonation. Just to give you a brief background, that section basically says, “Every person is guilty of an offence who, with intent to mislead, falsely represents themselves” or causes someone else to be falsely represented. Then there are a number of people who are listed: Chief Electoral Officer, election officer, people authorized to act on behalf of the office, people who are authorized to act on behalf of a registered party, and a candidate.
That's a good scope with regard to impersonation, but that's an example of perhaps a section that could be expanded to explicitly include other forms, maybe false information that's being disseminated. This is not to say this section was crafted in haste—it did target what it was intended to do—but there is room for manipulation to increase its scope.
