A Conservative MP has backed down after making a strong argument in favor of the government’s proposed “Fair Elections Act,” as he now claims that he did not actually witness voter identification cards being collected from recycling bins and used fraudulently. Ontario’s MP Brad Butt confessed having made an error in the House of Commons on Monday.

Meanwhile, the NDP is continuously endeavoring to halt the government’s passage of the bill as it also tabled a motion that calls for the committee considering the proposed new law to travel the country to hear input on its proposed changes. The proposed amendments to the Fair Election Act are fairly extensive and wide-ranging as they tend to completely overhaul Canada’s election laws and reorganize the structure of Elections Canada. Moreover, they also seek to eliminate the option of using a voter ID card as a valid form of identification on voting day.

Hansard has alleged that Mr. Butt, who is a member of the committee reviewing the bill, mentioned on Feb. 6 that “on mail delivery day, when the voter cards are delivered to community mailboxes in apartment buildings, many of them are discarded in the garbage can or the blue box. I have actually witnessed other people picking up the voter cards, going to the campaign office of whatever candidate they support and handing out these voter cards to other individuals, who then walk into voting stations with friends who vouch for them with no I.D.”
