- Elections Canada drops plan for online voting due to cuts
- Paper ballots will be the only choice, but a new report reveals multiple errors with them, By Leslie MacKinnon, CBC News, April 30, 2013.

Elections Canada also has concerns about the security of online voting, but a new report indicates that voting irregularities happen frequently at polling stations on voting day even when paper ballots are used. A spokesperson for Elections Canada said Tuesday that experiments with online voting are postponed "for the long term," and the reasons for the delay are due to an eight per cent budget cut that took effect this year, translating into a loss of $7.5 million per year. A plan to try out online voting in a federal byelection sometime before 2015 has been quashed..."

- Written by Bernadette De Souza. Canadian Government Executive, Volume: 19 Issue: 4, Monday, 22 April 2013.

Citizens First 6 (CF6), the latest in the series of surveys undertaken by the Institute for Citizen-Centred Service on behalf of 14 sponsoring jurisdictions representing municipal, regional, provincial, territorial and federal levels of government, gives service managers information on the experience of clients who have interacted with government through a range of channels..."

The first draft of the tweets included how much the government was planning to spend on cyber security — adding $155 million to the $90 million already approved for the cyber security strategy, including $13 million for the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre (CCIRC)..."
