The fact is, Conservatives have dragged their heels on giving Elections Canada the tools it needs to combat election fraud, just as their lawyer ran interference for months to prevent interviews of Conservatives by Elections Canada investigators. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3278254\" data-originallang=\"en\">On Tuesday the democratic reform minister said he would introduce legislation \u201con Thursday\u201d. Today is Thursday, so could the minister please tell Canadians which Thursday he was talking about?</p>",
