Last week, I spoke to Senator Tannas' amendment to Bill #C47, the “Budget Bill”. The last page included a consequential Canada #elections Act change, making a non-existent federal #privacy regime for political parties exclusive. Political parties don’t secure consent, aren’t transparent & are accountable to no one. 96% of Cdns want laws limiting #political party use of voter's private info. It was defeated after ~2 hrs of debate but not the desire for change. Full speech http://bit.ly/3Jr7BEx
