Thank you for that.
I'll make a second comment, and then I'll turn it over. I think a number of you mentioned that you didn't feel that registration fees for conventions should be considered donations since it is part of the democratic process. I hope I'm not misinterpreting your comments.
My understanding is--we certainly did this in our party, and I assume you do the same in yours--if there is a $1,000 registration fee to your national convention, in terms of the issuance of tax credits you would have to determine what the hard costs of that convention are. They may be $750, because that is what it costs for the meals and such. The remaining $250 is what you would issue in terms of a tax credit and a contribution limit.
That's contained in the act, by the way, so you're going to be forced to report a donation of the money over and above the hard costs associated with the convention.
Mr. MacKinnon, I see you shaking your head.
