Madam Speaker, I appreciate the fact that the NDP is voting in favour of the bill.
At the end of the day, what we are talking about in this legislation is an expansion. We are saying that it not only applies to the Prime Minister but also the cabinet and leaders of political parties, leaders who are ultimately striving to be the prime minister some day, and I think Canadians have a right to know who is attending those major fundraisers. To give the impression that the Prime Minister is the only one is wrong. Leaders of all political parties have fundraisers.
Why would people object to leaders of political parties being subjected to legislation such as this?
