I think the journalist who was mentioned wrote the article because she was contacted by not one but several members of Parliament who had received inquiries from concerned new Canadians in regard to having received these cards. This is not a journalist coming up with a story of her own accord. It was the result of her having received information from new residents to Canada about information they had received incorrectly and inappropriately from the Government of Canada. These are the straight facts. These people, who should not be on the voters list, received these cards in an attempt to get them to sign up on the voters list. That's just information that was provided to the journalist. It could have been any journalist. It was that journalist, but these actions did occur.
