OTTAWA — The Liberal government has tabled legislation that updates the federal Elections Act as part of its political pact with the NDP.
The minister responsible for democratic institutions, Dominic LeBlanc, said the changes"will enhance Canadians' ability to exercise their vote while strengthening protections against foreign interference in our elections."
MP Daniel Blaikie negotiated the bill for the NDP. He appeared alongside LeBlanc for what he said would likely be his last media availability on Parliament Hill before his resignation at the end of the month. He is headed for a job with Manitoba's premier. That falls short of the Liberal-NDP agreement, which promised that the parties would work together to make that a reality.
It clarifies that deepfakes, realistic simulations of public figures such as politicians created with AI technology, are covered under existing offences in the act. Those offences include publishing false statements to affect election results and impersonation.
