No. That's a question you would have to ask the government, obviously.
I believe such a provision is needed. Political parties receive substantial reimbursements, in the order of $33 million. People are held accountable for far lesser amounts. We live in an age of accountability and transparency. And it seems only logical to me for the CEO to have that option.
Furthermore, if we allow political parties to solicit funds in an election period, how would the CEO verify that calls were made for the purpose of fundraising and not to encourage people to vote? The CEO would need to have the power to consult those documents, to compile information and to look into that issue. The CEO would need to have that option.
