Conservatives’ new ‘Fair Elections Act’ will rein in electoral officer, raise political contribution limit
Conservatives’ new ‘Fair Elections Act’ will rein in electoral officer, raise political contribution limit.
"The Harper government is set to introduce a new “Fair Elections Act” that will increase the amount Canadians are allowed to contribute to political parties; will rein in the power of the Chief Electoral Officer when it comes to launching investigations into violations of electoral law; and will end the practice of “vouching” for voters who don’t have proof of identification at the ballot box, according to sources who have seen the draft bill."

Conservatives vow to clean up federal election law
The "fair elections act" is being unveiled on Tuesday by a government and a party that has had an uneasy relationship with Elections Canada.
"Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government is set to finally unveil measures to clean up Canada’s election laws — nearly three years after an election plagued with spending abuses and alleged voter-suppression schemes,
But the proposed “fair elections act” is already shaping up as a la...rge test of the Conservatives’ sincerity about democratic reform — especially since it comes from a party that has constantly tangled with Elections Canada and whose operations are still under a cloud after the 2011 campaign.
“The party that lies behind this government has proved to be extremely creative in how it’s tried to get around election rules,” says Craig Scott, the New Democrats’ democratic-reform critic."

This has been on Harpers agend for decades now and is his way of corrupting Canadian politics in the same manner as the American system of corporate manipulation and control over a government that should be working for the people not for corporate interests.
Under previous Canadian governments the country thrived without gross interference from corporations. What this new system will mean, in the long run, is the abolishment of social and economic support for Canadian workers........
CANADA
Going to hell under a corrupt
HARPER REGIME
