OTTAWA — The Conservative party is demanding that the National Firearms Association destroy a party membership list that it appears to have illicitly obtained from one of the camps in the recent leadership contest. The party can withhold repayment of all or part of the deposit from any leadership campaign that broke the rules. Mainstreet president Quito Maggi confirmed his company had access to a copy of the party membership list, which he said was acquired by iPolitics “from several leadership camps.”According to Maggi, the party never complained to him about the use of its membership list. “That is the Conservative Party of Canada’s list,” he said. Conservative Party president Scott Lamb told the newspaper that the voting was fair.
