Certainly, the bar would be high. The standard is intent. That is an important safeguard.
Nonetheless, I emphasize that it could have unintended consequences—a chilling effect—when there are legitimate questions about elections. I can recall, for example, a friend of mine who's now a minister in the province of Saskatchewan. He lost his seat in 2006 by 53 votes. There were all kinds of irregularities in that particular riding, including the winning candidate holding raffles and auctioning off TVs, among other allegations. When the result came down to one vote in Terrebonne, there were questions in that case too.
That is my primary concern—the unintended consequences this might have. It's not about persons going out and wilfully spreading misinformation or disinformation about legitimate election results. In every election, there are one or two ridings where it's a close race, where irregularities may happen or where there are allegations and close outcomes. That is what I'm concerned about.
