Elections Canada is reportedly extending its investigation into misleading election phone calls in Guelph to the city of Thunder Bay, Ont., where call centre workers claim they gave out incorrect voting information on behalf of the Conservative party.

Call centre staff working for Responsive Marketing Group, a company hired by the Conservative party during the federal election, spoke up earlier this week to say they received push-back from the Canadians they called over voting station locations.

“We would call these (voters) and they would say ‘we went there and that’s not a real place,’” one woman told the National Post. “The whole call centre (noticed it was happening).”

Staff reported the issue to their supervisors and the RCMP, but were told to stick to the script.

Elections Canada said Thursday they could not confirm any details about the investigation, but theCBC reportedthe agency was now probing suspicious phone calls made in the second Ontario riding.
