Within our rationale, what we're hoping is that Bill C-25 includes a requirement that Elections Canada redact the exact location of a regulated fundraising event, only publishing the municipality and province or territory where the event took place, to address these safety concerns.
However, Elections Canada also has a general obligation to allow public inspection of all reports in its possession upon request, unless otherwise exempted. Consequently, we're hoping an additional amendment is needed to exempt the RFE reports that I mentioned before, received by Elections Canada in their original unredacted form, from public inspection.
Lastly, for the regulated fundraising event, or RFE, after-event reports are published online by Elections Canada. They're identical to the documents that the public may inspect at an RO's office, and we're proposing that Bill C-25 keep this requirement for the CEO to publish these reports, minus the precise address.
