That would be easy enough. There are provisions in the act that set out illegal acts or corrupt practices. That's section 502.
If you decide to go that route, it would be a question of adding a paragraph to one of those two sections to make it clear that from now on this would be that.
At the same time I think it's important for me to highlight for the committee, Mr. Chair, that if consideration is given to going in that direction, I would urge you to think very carefully, because if you do that, it could open up the possibility to challenge the results of an election. I think one of the things you would want to avoid, or at least consider seriously, is to avoid having a multiplicity of challenges after an election if somebody says a false statement was made about their character and now they'd like to challenge the result of the election.
I would urge you to think very carefully where you would set the bar in how such a challenge could be launched, and then give guidance to the court, to the judge, as precisely as possible on how they should decide whether or not the results of the election should be quashed.
