Elections Canada has suggested that venue names should be listed for fundraising events after a political party asked whether it had to disclose the specific location in light of safety concerns.
The federal agency said parties are obligated under political financing law to publicly list the venue name, but added the government could opt to change the law.
"Parliament may wish to consider amending the legislation to address emerging security concerns in this area." Elections Canada didn't say which party made the initial inquiry, but in the spring the Liberal party informed the agency of a security issue linked to the public listing of a venue. During the 2021 general election, there was an increase in incidents ranging from vandalism to assault, Elections Canada said.
