Conservatives refuse to release phone records

The Conservatives are refusing to release phone records of calls made during the last federal election

According to the Globe and Mail, the Conservatives feel that there is no reason to release their own records. Instead, Conservatives want the Liberals to release their records of all calls made during the 2011 federal election.

Parliamentary secretary to the Prime Minister Dean Del Mastro stated that the Conservatives are not behind the calls.He believes that the Liberal party have paid millions to companies to make phone calls to households across the country.

Interim Liberal leader Bob Rae stated that the Tories have lost their moral compass by refusing to release the records.

31 000 complaints have been made to Elections Canada in relation to the calls that misdirected voters to the wrong polling stations.

Del Mastro later stated that the Conservatives would give any documents requested by Elections Canada for their investigation.
