OTTAWA—The federal government wants to make it easier for Canadians to cast a ballot, while making it harder for political parties—or foreign entities—to violate their privacy or persuade them who to vote for using falsehoods or vast sums of money.
“We are committed to maintaining the trust of Canadians in our democratic process,” said Treasury Board President Scott Brison, who is acting as democratic institutions minister while Karina Gould is on maternity leave.
