The MP For Cowichan Malahat Langford says he is not surprised at the public support for limiting the length of election campaigns.
90-percent of respondents who took the liberal government’s my-democracy-dot-ca survey supported putting a cap on electoral periods.
Alistair MacGregor introduced Bill C-279 in May last year, in hopes of amending the Canada Elections Act so a government cannot call an election that lasts longer than 46 days.
MacGregor says his bill would put an end to marathon campaign periods – like in 2015 when campaigning took place over 78 days.
