‘The Conservative Party of Canada ran a clean and ethical campaign’

A statement from Jenni Byrne, national campaign manager for the Conservative party.

The Conservative Party of Canada ran a clean and ethical campaign and would never tolerate such activity. The Party was not involved with these calls and if anyone on a local campaign was involved they will not play a role in a future campaign.

Voter suppression is extremely serious and if anything improper occurred those responsible should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.We spent the entire campaign identifying supporters and we worked hard to get them out to vote.

Our job is to get votes out, we do not engage in voter suppression.

The NDP have written to the Commissioner of Canada Elections to outline their concerns.
