I'd be happy to respond to that. I think the law is clear that you must be giving your own money, of your own free will, and that includes children. It includes any Canadian citizen. It includes any permanent resident of the country.
Mr. Donison claims some quarter-million donors. I think he would agree that it would prove very difficult to ask each of those donors how old they are and did they give their own money. In fact, the onus is on the contributor to comply with the law. When Mr. Donison or I, or any other of my colleagues here, learn that a law may have been contravened--Mr. Donison is again quite correct--our job, our duty, and our record is that we return that contribution promptly, forthwith, and without question.
I do note that in all parties people with the same last name make contributions all the time--people with children, people who are under the age of 18. I think you may want to consider that in your own party this may be a problem and this may affect some contributors who have made contributions to your party in the very recent past as well.
So I think it's a tough job to be Michael Donison or Steven MacKinnon and watch every cheque that comes in the door. Once we learn of a contravention, I'm sure that Mr. Donison and I do everything in our power to make sure that is corrected and that transaction is reversed.
