According to a summary of the concerns that are included in the email, one of the proposed changes to the bill would require the election commissioner to have conducted none of the major investigations that have taken place in the last five years and to have some of the existing ones abandoned. Amery claims that all of the president’s recommendations are intended to safeguard republic, ensure fair and impartial elections, and restore trust in Albertans ‘ every-vote confidence, but he did not specifically address McClure’s concerns. Irfan Sabir, a writer of the opposition’s NDP justice system, claims McClure’s email makes it clear that the United Conservatives are undermining studies into election law, leaving those who violate the law on their own.
