^ Quite right Senator. She did not specify whether she was:
a) Calling identified conservative supporters to encourage them to get the vote out to the proper place (which is legal) or;
b) Calling those persons who were not conservative supporters to mislead them to the improper place (which is obviously illegal).
So she has suspicions, but they need to be confirmed, probably by looking at the telemarketers records for the three days in question.
One more thing I would point out, I believe not identifying the fact that you are calling on behalf of a political party is an offence under the Federal Telecommunications Act. However, from the Elections Canada report, it seems that this particular provision goes massivley unheeded (it shouldn't).
