We're talking about broadening judicial discretion for individuals to seek relief from an undue amount of burden in terms of providing documents. This provision mirrors what's in place for the Competition Bureau, which has similar powers as the commissioner of elections. We're suggesting this especially for the case of a voluntary organization where an executive member of a riding may be asked to provide extensive documentation that might be seen as undue, or a challenge for them to do so with their limited resources. A judge may provide discretion to provide relief in providing those documents.
We think it's reflective of what's in place now with the Competition Bureau. Perhaps it might be supportable.
