A Liberal volunteer for the Calgary Southeast candidate in the 2008 federal election is facing charges by Elections Canada for not filing an electoral campaign return.

The charges against Amandeep Gill, who was the official agent for candidate Brad Carroll, could result in up to five years in prison or a $5,000 fine.

For his part, Carroll tells the Calgary Herald that he’s well aware of the situation, but notes only the official agent can file the return and he doesn’t know why Gill failed to file it. But Carroll adds, shortly after the election, Gill disappeared and wasn’t heard from again.
