I'd also point out something Mr. Mayrand mentioned. He said that the shorter the period, the more you need a power to go to the courts to ask for documents to be retained once an investigation is under way, and that power is also not in the bill. I've had my own private member's bill on this, and I was under no illusions that it would solve the problem of truly rogue operators doing automated calls using proxy servers and burner phones, not even using the services of legitimate voter contact companies.
There's nothing in the regime that will actually tackle that problem. The only solution I see is you must beef up the investigative powers of the Commissioner of Canada Elections. Two things are missing. One in particular is the power to compel witnesses along with requisite safeguards for their rights. The other thing is the access of Elections Canada to national party documentation supporting their expense claims. Neither of these has been included in the bill. I understand that in your remarks, as I was listening, you said both of them are still needed. Would you agree with me that without those two powers, the ability of Elections Canada or the commissioner, if he's now in the DPP's office, to actually get to the bottom of the more serious forms of robocall fraud, the ones that don't even use the existing legitimate system, is going to be very difficult?
