According to a compliance agreement posted March 12 by the Commissioner of Canada Elections, Moroz was out on a canvass in an apartment building with Housefather and other Liberal volunteers.

Moroz removed six pieces of Conservative campaign literature and replaced them with Liberal pamphlets. The published agreement writes that this happened “unbeknownst to the candidate and other canvassers,” and that when Housefather and the others found out Moroz was reprimanded by them and then returned the literature.

Section 325(1) of the Canada Elections Act stipulates that “no person shall prevent or impair the transmission to the public of an election advertising message without the consent of a person with authority to authorize its transmission.”

Moroz was given 30 days to submit the sum to the government.
