Well, the level playing field is key, and most importantly, in terms of the spending limits. I appeared before this committee last year to describe how I felt strongly that limits on leadership contest spending was an issue that needed to be dealt with. I continue to believe that lowering limits on these sorts of things does level the playing field; it really does have a positive impact on access to the system. So putting that on an equal basis, if you will, is important.
I would just say, generally speaking, that women who have trouble accessing loans will always have a harder time getting even more money. Not everyone can get a $30,000 loan from a friend or someone else. If you start from that premise, you have to be able to say: if that's going to be a barrier to begin with and the barrier is already disadvantaging women, this does in fact level the playing field. I agree with you on that—which is probably not a surprise to the committee. It does make it easier for women to access the system if in fact they're not dealing with the big sums of money, which do tend to be in the hands and control of men and more-advantaged groups.
