 Canadian Election Law & Policies
Elections Canada also provides a number of plain English overviews of the laws and policies governing the conduct of federal elections.
A controversial aspect of federal election laws is the limits placed on private individuals and groups who are not running in the election but who wish to advertise in support of or against specific candidates or parties.
This law was challenged during the 2000 election, by Stephen Harper when he headed up the National Citizens Coalition, on the grounds that the law is an unconstitutional limit on the freedom of expression and of the voters' rights to be fully informed of all points of view.

 Privacy and Human Rights 2003: Canada
In March 2003, the Attorney General of Canada made a motion to dismiss the case, alleging that the Commissioner lacks standing because he is part of a statutory body created under the Privacy Act, and thus not able to initiate actions under the Charter.
In June 2003, the B.C. court dismissed the suit, ruling that the Commissioner has the right to investigate issues under the Privacy Act, but that his jurisdiction did not extend to bringing cases before the courts.
In a February 2003 appearance before a legislative committee on Bill C-17, the Commissioner argued that this provision would create a dangerous precedent for self-identification by police in all aspects of society.
