Elections Canada has affirmed that it is looking into the robocalls scandal for which Conservatives have been accused for. Allegedly, forged calls were made to several voters on the Election Day 2011 to commune false information about the polling stations, which in turn had an effect on the federal election outcomes.
The agency has always been hesitant in sharing any information about its investigations; however, the RCMP has confirmed that it is providing support to the agency. The agency will provide a report to Parliament, but didn’t set a deadline.
Spokesman for Elections Canada, John Enright said: “The Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections confirms that it is investigating complaints received regarding robocalls placed at the 41st general election in 2011.
“Elections Canada has received a high volume of complaints in recent days as a result of MPs and political parties calling on the public to send information to the agency. … Elections Canada is reviewing these and will take action as appropriate.”
According to Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae, the complaints reflect great disappointment.
He said: “This is a literally unprecedented number of complaints. Unless the prime minister and his associates want to say there are 31,000 Canadians and more participating in a smear campaign, he’s going to have a hard time dismissing these complaints.”
