I don't know if it will deal with the lobbying issue, but I certainly think it will talk about access to meaningfully participate in the electoral process. It was a political decision. There are different philosophies about how public financing should happen. If you make a contribution, you're eligible for a tax receipt. These per-vote subsidies don't necessarily flow the same way to the same parties, because there's a critical mass associated with them.
Even poor Mr. Figueroa, who would get only so many votes under the subsidy, wouldn't be able to buy an ad in the Edmonton Journal with that money, because he just wouldn't have enough—although the Fort Saskatchewan Pennysaver would still be able to sell him an ad.
The per-vote subsidy is an equalizer, but still, the way money is used in elections, you get much more value when you can compound that money and get a better ad buy.
