Req # A-2019-00085

To whom it may concern, I am writing to request records under the Access to Information Act regarding a document reasonably believed to be produced by CSE entitled 'CSE's SIGINT Re-organization -- "Renewal" (13 September 1999).' As the Access to Information Act requires, I would request all reasonably non-exempt portions of the document released. The existence of this document is cited in a declassified NSA document, "NEW Enterprise Team (NETeam) Recommendations: The Director's Work Plan for Change" (1 October 1999), Appendix G: Bibliography. The release of non-exempt records is in the public interest as supported and outlined by Canada's National Security Transparency Commitment because it contributes to greater accountability and trust on national security policy while balancing security demands. Please note: I am willing to exclude from this request the text or paragraphs of any documents with a classification of "code word" or "special access", although I would like to receive a list of the titles, dates and page count of any documents that are removed from this request for this reason.

Req # A-2019-00094

I am interested in mobile polling stations and in ordinary polls in seniors’ residences where a large number of electors reside. I would like to know how many of these two types of polling stations are in each electoral district. The purpose of this request is to obtain a list of polling stations located in seniors’ residences, with information on the electoral district to which they belong. I would like to obtain this information for as many years as possible (from 1997 to 2019, if possible) in .csv, .doc or .txt format. Ideally, I would like to be able to cross-reference this data with the data already available on your website. For example, if you know the numbers of the polling stations located in seniors’ residences (with the number of the corresponding electoral district), I could cross-reference the information myself with the .csv files available on the internet.

Provide the 2019 and 2020 records, including briefing notes, and contingency plans, to shift voting to electronic ballots; to shift how individual election riding contests are run without physical polling places; to shift campaign and advertising rules should public health in the context of social isolation or other emergencies change elections campaigning; to shift toward counting electronic ballots and challenging those results; and to shift the needed protections throughout such election voting changes. The COVID-19 crisis in particular has had in other jurisdictions an effect either in their looking at or adopting new ways of voting.
