Mr. Speaker, now it is “in the very near future” and no longer “in due course”.
Charges have finally been laid against Conservative operative Michael Sona under the “Prohibitions” section of the Canada Elections Act. We are now one step closer to finding out who is ultimately responsible for this scheme. He is charged with wilfully preventing and endeavouring to prevent an elector from voting at an election—in everyday language, illegal vote suppression.
Why are Conservatives not serious about preventing this in the future, and why are they delaying new legislation?
