I hope we've all used popular financing. Some people make contributions in the form of bank drafts or advances. For example, some give us 10 cheques as an annual contribution. People give us 10 cheques for $200 each, and those cheques are cashed on the first of every month.
If the Act is implemented as it stands, will I have to return the cheques to certain people in my riding and tell them that I have to consider the date they were issued? If my memory serves me, we're only proposing that this part of the Act come into force on January 1, 2007 to simplify the lives of our financial officers and to support the decision of the directors general of the four political parties.
