Mr. Speaker, the Chief Electoral Officer has uncovered two parts to the in-and-out scam dogging the government.
First, the Conservatives pretended advertising was bought for and by local candidates when that was not true, but by claiming it was local and eligible for a cash rebate from the government, those candidates were lining up to grab more taxpayer money. Elections Canada says this advertising was “not an expense of the candidates who claimed it”.
That is very clear.
What is the Minister of Justice doing to enforce the Canada Elections Act?
