Call it the Loyalty Act. According to the bill brought forward by MP Mark Adler of the York Centre riding, if the disclosures turn up suspicious past political activities, MPs or senators could then demand an investigation of the offender or offenders. What might those suspicious activities be? Who knows? The employee might have done something terrible in the past … like holding a membership in a non-Conservative party riding association. The bill has the look of something straight out of Stephen Harper’s school of paranoia: guilt by association. It also may well violate the freedom of association clause in the Charter of Rights.
