On the issue of loans, particularly, one of the big problems that I think exists right now in the Elections Act is that a loan that is given by somebody outside of a financial institution and goes into default after 18 months is then deemed a contribution. You can get extensions to this, you can do that sort of thing, but if we're going to be deeming it a contribution at some point in the act, then certainly that loan or that guarantee should be limited to the amount of money that person or business can give. I support that.
