Personally, I don't at all see, realistically, to whom else but the national party the expenses could be attributed. Moreover, Mr. Ronald Lamothe, Assistant Chief Investigator at the Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections, made a large number of statements in the information document to obtain a search warrant. There is one that concerns what we are talking about. It states:
“AND THAT there are reasonable grounds to believe” that....
—I'm skipping some short passages—
“...the Conservative Fund Canada did incur election expenses....”
The Conservative Party exceeded its electoral expenses and
“...the total amount of which exceeded the maximum amount allowed for election expenses of the Conservative Party....”
which resulted in total expenses that exceeded the maximum amount allowed for the Conservative Party's election expenses.
At least there's someone who knows to whom to attribute the expenses that you don't know to whom to attribute. How is it that Mr. Lamothe can do it and that you can't?
