Procedure and House Affairs committee  The prohibition associated with both CPC-142 and CPC-143 is in proposed subsection 91(1) of the bill. This prohibition says that no person or entity shall, with the intention of affecting the results of the election, make or publish a false statement. Yes, the intent requirement

Procedure and House Affairs committee  If I may....

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Ms. Kusie, you're right that this would eventually have an effect on punishment, but this specific motion is about the offence itself. Currently the offence associated with the prohibition found at paragraph 56 (e.1), on the unauthorized use of personal information recorded in

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. Currently, it's summary only, as it is for the similar offence for the register of electors. Now the one for the register of future electors would be separated from that, and it would be dual procedure.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, and it's for the misuse of the information. It's not typically electors who would be found liable for that, but people who are using this information on a daily basis.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We are back to the original text of CPC-141. The only comment I made was with regard to the subject of the nature of “undermining confidence in the integrity of an election”. It may cause enforcement problems in the future.

Laying a charge under the Cr

Procedure and House Affairs committee  On this specific question, CPC-141 and PV-14 do not modify the same line as Liberal-41. I think that Liberal-41 comes a bit later in line number, so CPC-141 and PV-14 are the only ones that amend the chapeau of subsection 482(1).

Procedure and House Affairs committee  None.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The Liberal motion adds the new offence of “attempt”—thank you, Ms. Sahota—because in the Criminal Code there is a general provision that applies to other offences in the Criminal Code. It is an offence to “attempt” to commit an offence under the Criminal Code. Of course, that

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. I would like to comment. Ms. Sahota asked me a question on this specific topic right after the minister's remarks on Monday. I answered Ms. Sahota's question in English, so this morning, if the committee doesn't mind, I will take the unusual step of answering this question

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Subsection 477.74(3) already affects the amount calculated at subsection (2), and currently paragraph 477.75(1)(d) does not refer to subsection (3), so it would appear unnecessary, unless I'm not seeing something.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No. (Amendment negatived [See Minutes of Proceedings])
