Michael Kram Conservative
“I hope this bill stops the group that puts dozens of extra names on election ballots to disrupt voting. A court case they won made this disruption possible, so we will have to wait and see if this bill works.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the hon. member on becoming a grandfather for the fourth time, earlier this month. I wish him well with the new bundle of joy. I am hopeful that the measures in Bill C-25 are sufficient to curtail the activities of the longest ballot committee. However, I think it is very telling that its members were the ones behind the 2017 court case, which struck down the requirement of the $1,000 deposit. It is also very telling that, after that court case, they opened the door to their current disruptive activities. We will have to take a wait-and-see approach, and we will have to wait and see.”
