OTTAWA (CP) - The chief electoral officer says he might be willing to break the law by sharing the confidential federal voters list if he thought it would help public safety or security.
Jean-Pierre Kingsley says the law should be changed to allow him to share the National Register of Electors under certain conditions. That includes legitimate inquiries from Canada's spy agency, he said.
Kingsley says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service could use the detailed voter database as it tries to protect citizens.
He would consider breaking the law to release the voter list if it would save lives, he says.
In a report to Parliament, Kingsley also says he should have new powers to review financial reports from political parties. He also recommends that voters be allowed to register through income tax returns.
Hmmmm Break the law no not the goverment .The police state gets stronger :x
