I'm not sure if I communicated my hypothetical situation correctly. Say that a political party hired 10 campaign workers and paid them $1,000 each; those 10 workers then contributed, at some point in time, $1,000 each to the political party. Now, within the strict rules, as I understand them, that's perfectly allowable, but if you connected the dots, it would appear the individuals had made a deal with the political party to take money for services they performed and then donate that money back to the political party. In addition, because the political party would be able to claim those salaries as an expense, they would get a rebate back. So not only would they get the full amount of money back, they would also get a rebate from the taxpayers; they would be making money off the situation.
My question to you is whether you have you ever experienced that in Quebec, and would that be considered a violation of the Quebec elections act?
