Dear Director Saunders,
We write to file a formal complaint Public Prosecution Service of Canada, seeking a re-opening of the investigation into the election
fraud that took place during the 2011 election.
We have filed a complaint in this matter with the Commissioner of Canada Elections (which is attached and available online here) to
no avail. Legal analysis of the Commissioner of Canada’s report on the investigation is also attached and available online here.
We were disappointed to learn that the Commissioner does not intend to reopen the investigation, despite considerable evidence,
which our complaint outlined in detail. This includes the Federal Court ruling of Justice Richard Mosley and the Ontario Superior
Court ruling of Justice Gary Hearn, which taken together underscore that others were involved, that the election fraud extended far
beyond Guelph, and that the likely source of the data used to make the misleading calls was the Conservative Party’s CIMS
database.
The PPSC’s appeal to seek a more serious sentence for Michael Sona that reflects the gravity of the crime, in and of itself makes the
case for re-opening the investigation. If the gravity of the offence is sufficient to warrant a more serious sentence it warrants a more
serious investigation to find the perpetrators who are still at large.
The Council of Canadians is calling on the PPSC to explore every investigative avenue possible to obtain the list of everyone who had
access to the Conservative Party’s national CIMS database. It also should explore either who had the authority or at least the
opportunity to make decisions about launching phone campaigns like the one used to mislead thousands of voters in 2011 about
their polling locations. As we underscored to the Commissioner of Canada Elections, this case is far from closed and a new
investigation is necessary. The PSCC has a mandate and a responsibility to re-open the investigation.
We look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Cc: Morris Pistyner
