Mr. W. Scott Thurlow at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I think a very good balance was struck in the Federal Court of Appeal's decision in Democracy Watch and Campbell. It has been stretched by subsequent commissioners.

I think the best approach for these types of things is for Parliament to say what those limits are and for Parliament to say that election contributions by individuals “shall” be limited to $1,650. There's no wiggle room there. That's the limit.
