Former Liberal MP and cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland violated Elections Act by commenting on a 2024 Toronto byelection in favour of her party during official government press conferences, Canada’s elections commissioner says.
Caroline Simard, commissioner of Elections Canada, said in a report released on Feb. 13 that Freeland’s comments amounted to “unlawful contributions” to a political entity.
