Liberals fined for rule-breaking robocalls

[Locutus]

Heh.

OTTAWA - Liberal MP Frank Valeriote has been slapped with a $4,900 fine for a robocall that broke telecom rules during the 2011 federal campaign.

The CRTC issued the violation notice Friday to the Guelph Federal Liberal Association on behalf of Valeriote, indicating robocalls made on April 30, 2011 were not within regulations.

The prerecorded call, which was paid for by the Liberals, featured a woman's voice and suggested Guelph, Ontario, Tory candidate Marty Burke is anti-choice. The recording did not state it was from the Liberal riding association and the number of origin was not revealed - both requirements under CRTC's telecom rules.
